MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires (1) the attacker to have MISP event/attribute submission privileges and to submit an ip-dst, url, or event-info value containing a single-quote character with appended shell commands; and (2) the specific cisco_firesight_manager_ACL_rule_export module to be used to generate the .sh export, which is then executed unmodified by a victim analyst on their workstation (CVSS UI:A - active user interaction). Limiting factors: the flaw does not compromise misp-modules or the MISP server itself (subsequent-system impact only); no code runs until a human runs the generated script; the target Cisco fireSIGHT export workflow is niche. The secondary NameError DoS triggers only when a request payload omits the 'config' key.

Impact

This is a genuine but conditional risk, not an inflated high-CVSS finding. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A) scores 6.3 (Medium) and honestly captures the two gating factors: the attacker needs standard MISP event-submission privileges (PR:L) and the victim analyst must actively execute the generated .sh file unmodified (UI:A - Active interaction). Critically, all vulnerable-system impacts are None (VC:N/VI:N/VA:N) while all subsequent-system impacts are High (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) - meaning misp-modules itself is not compromised; the damage lands on the analyst's workstation (arbitrary command execution, fireSIGHT credential exposure, ACL tampering). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit are provided, so exploitation status is: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The signals are internally consistent - moderate CVSS, no KEV, no POC - pointing to a real code-injection defect that requires a specific social/operational precondition (an analyst running a poisoned export) rather than a wormable or mass-exploitable flaw. The description explicitly states no authentication bypass is required beyond event submission, which directly contradicts the 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the metadata.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with rights to submit events/attributes to a MISP instance (e.g., a partner in a sharing community) submits an ip-dst or url attribute value containing a single-quote character followed by shell commands. When a security analyst uses the cisco_firesight_manager_ACL_rule_export module to generate the .sh script and runs it unmodified to push ACL rules to fireSIGHT Manager, the payload breaks out of the single-quoted string and the injected commands execute with the analyst's privileges. No public proof-of-concept is identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 25, 2026

Command injection in MISP misp-modules' cisco_firesight_manager_ACL_rule_export can cause arbitrary shell commands to be embedded in generated .sh export scripts when an authenticated MISP user with event/attribute submission privileges supplies values containing a single quote, such as a crafted ip-dst or url; an analyst who executes the script unmodified runs those commands with their own privileges. The issue requires active user interaction, does not directly compromise the MISP server, but can expose Cisco fireSIGHT Manager credentials, alter ACL rules, or compromise the analyst workstation, with a secondary NameError denial-of-service when the request lacks a config key. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) were identified at time of analysis; the independent assessment views this as a genuine but conditional risk, and the upstream patch commit 625b54908efbd6acc8343aa3370d401dd370e748 adds shlex.quote and initializes config.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory; apply the upstream fix commit 625b54908efbd6acc8343aa3370d401dd370e748 (or a misp-modules release containing it), which adds shlex.quote for interpolated values and initializes config = {} to avoid the NameError. Verify after upgrade that cisco_firesight_manager_ACL_rule_export.py no longer places unescaped user-controlled values into single-quoted shell strings. If patching is delayed, do not execute exported .sh files unmodified; treat generated scripts as untrusted and inspect or replace single quotes before execution, disable the cisco_firesight_manager_ACL_rule_export export module if Cisco fireSIGHT export is not required, restrict MISP event/attribute submission privileges to trusted users, and run any generated script under a least-privileged account or isolated container because it contains fireSIGHT credentials. Trade-offs: disabling the module removes the fireSIGHT ACL export feature; manual inspection is error-prone and may still miss obfuscated payloads; least-privilege execution limits but does not eliminate credential theft or ACL modification risks.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The cisco_firesight_manager_ACL_rule_export module in misp-modules is a Python export module that builds a shell script for calling the Cisco fireSIGHT Manager API. It directly interpolates configuration values (fmc_ip_addr, fmc_login, fmc_pass, domain_id, acpolicy_id) and MISP-derived values (destination IPs, URLs, event info comments) into single-quoted shell assignments and JSON fragments. Because single quotes are not escaped, CWE-78 command injection occurs when any value contains a single quote that terminates the quoted context; the injected text is then parsed as shell syntax by the analyst who runs the export. The fix commit imports shlex and applies shlex.quote to those values and separately initializes config = {} so the module no longer raises NameError when the payload lacks config. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:misp:misp-modules:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, indicating misp-modules versions prior to the fix. Authentication requirements from the CVSS vector are authenticated low-privileged MISP user (CVSS:4.0 PR:L; independent CVSS:3.1 PR:L), with active user interaction (UI:A/UI:R), remote network vector AV:N, low attack complexity, and changed scope in the independent assessment (S:C with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts).

DescriptionCVE.org

The cisco_firesight_manager_ACL_rule_export module in misp-modules generates a shell script (.sh) that authenticates to and calls the Cisco fireSIGHT Manager API. The module interpolates configuration values (IP address, login, password, domain ID, policy ID) and MISP attribute values (destination IPs, URLs, event info comments) directly into single-quoted shell string assignments without any escaping or sanitization. Because the values are placed inside single-quoted shell strings, any value containing a single-quote character (e.g., a crafted ip-dst or url attribute value submitted to MISP) breaks out of the quoting context, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary shell commands into the exported script. A security analyst who subsequently executes the generated .sh file unmodified would run the injected commands with their own privileges, potentially exposing fireSIGHT Manager credentials, modifying ACL rules, or compromising the analyst workstation. Additionally, the module contained a secondary defect where the variable 'config' was only assigned inside a conditional block but referenced unconditionally afterward, causing a NameError (denial of service) when the request payload lacked a 'config' key. The vulnerability requires the attacker to have the ability to submit MISP events or attributes containing a single-quote character and the victim to execute the exported script. No authentication bypass is required beyond standard MISP event-submission privileges.
