Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in MISP up to 2.5.39. Affected by this issue is the function CollectionsController::edit. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-639. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

MISP contained multiple mass assignment vulnerabilities in the handling of collections, tag collections, event delegations, and shadow attributes. Several controller actions accepted user-supplied fields that should have remained server-controlled, including record identifiers and ownership-related fields such as id, org_id, orgc_id, and user_id. An authenticated attacker with access to the affected endpoints could craft requests containing protected fields in order to alter object ownership, redirect an update to another record, overwrite existing event delegation requests, or modify shadow attribute proposals belonging to another organization. This could result in unauthorized modification of MISP objects and, depending on object visibility and sharing configuration, unauthorized access to or transfer of sensitive threat intelligence data. The issue was fixed by explicitly pinning ownership and identity fields to their stored values during edit operations and by removing user-supplied primary keys from create-only save paths. Affected components: * CollectionsController::edit() * EventDelegationsController::delegateEvent() * ShadowAttributesController::edit() * TagCollectionsController::edit()915 * TagCollectionsController::editWithTags() Attack requirements: The attacker must be authenticated and able to reach the affected MISP endpoints. No user interaction is required.
