Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in MISP up to 2.5.39. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown function of the component Edit Permission Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-863. The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. This allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A vulnerability in MISP’s non-REST event editing path allowed an authenticated user with event edit permissions to manipulate the submitted form data and set an event’s sharing_group_id to a sharing group they were not authorized to use. When distribution was set to sharing group distribution, the non-REST save path accepted the submitted sharing_group_id without performing the same sharing group authorization check enforced by the REST edit path. An attacker could exploit this by tampering with the event edit request and assigning an event to an undisclosed or unauthorized sharing group. This could result in unauthorized use of restricted sharing groups, disclosure of the sharing group name in event listings, and unintended modification of the event’s distribution metadata. The issue is fixed by validating that the selected sharing group can be used by the current user when the sharing group is changed, and by clearing sharing_group_id when the event distribution is not set to sharing group distribution.
