CVE-2026-103237 Details
Description
MISP contains an improper input validation vulnerability in its ORM save path. When a user submits data through various endpoints (attribute add/edit, event edit, free-text import, sighting capture, shadow attribute proposal, event report creation, object reference add, user admin edit), the application sanitizes the flat record by stripping the primary key and pinning the event_id or object_id to the caller's context. However, the underlying ORM's set() method gives priority to a nested key whose name matches the model alias and discards the outer scalar fields. An authenticated user with basic write permissions can exploit this by embedding a nested block under the model alias key inside their request. The sanitization logic (id removal, event_id pinning) is applied to the outer record, but the ORM binds to the inner record instead, which carries an attacker-chosen id and event_id. This allows the attacker to overwrite, re-parent, or soft-delete rows belonging to other organizations or events they have no read access to. Impact: - Cross-tenant data integrity compromise (attribute values rewritten, objects re-parented to attacker events, rows soft-deleted) - Affects multiple entity types: Attribute, Object, EventReport, Sighting, AttributeTag, ShadowAttribute - Requires only a low-privilege authenticated account with perm_add Affected versions: <2.5.48
A vulnerability in MISP's ORM save path allows for improper input validation. When users with basic write permissions submit data through various endpoints, the application sanitizes the data by removing primary keys and attaching event or object IDs based on the user's context. However, the ORM's set() method prioritizes nested keys that match the model alias, ignoring the outer scalar fields. This flaw enables an authenticated user to embed a nested block under the model alias key, bypassing the sanitization and manipulating data related to other organizations or events they cannot access. The vulnerability affects multiple entity types, including Attributes, Objects, EventReports, Sightings, AttributeTags, and ShadowAttributes, and could lead to unauthorized overwriting, re-parenting, or soft-deletion of records.
Users can update to MISP version 2.5.48 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
