Summary
MISP has an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows an organization administrator to target site administrator accounts belonging to the same organization through the administrative email functionality. The affected code restricted organization administrators to users within their own organization but did not exclude site administrator role accounts from recipient queries.
Risk Assessment
Successful exploitation may allow an authenticated organization administrator to interfere with or potentially take over a site administrator account, resulting in privilege escalation and full compromise of the MISP instance’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Recommendation
It is recommended to review and update the authorization mechanisms in MISP to ensure that organization administrators cannot affect site administrator accounts. Additionally, monitoring organization administrators' actions is advised to detect potential abuses.
Other vulnerabilities in MISP
See all- CVE-2026-61474Medium
An improper authorization check in MISP's attribute creation endpoint allowed an authenticated user with permission to add attributes to submit a sharing_group_id without triggering the corresponding sharing group authorization check, as long as the attribute distribution value was not explicitly set to 4 — 'sharing group'.
- CVE-2017-14337High
In MISP versions before 2.4.80, when configured with X.509 certificate authentication alongside a non-MISP external user management API, an unauthenticated user can gain access as an arbitrary user if the API returns an empty value.
- CVE-2026-10868Critical
MISP has a mass assignment vulnerability in the user edit functionality (UsersController::edit()). An authenticated attacker can modify the user ID in the request, leading to updates on another user's account.
- CVE-2026-10611Critical
MISP contains an authentication bypass vulnerability when LDAP mixed authentication is enabled with OTP enforcement. An authenticated user can bypass the OTP step and access the application without providing a TOTP, HOTP, or email OTP code.
- CVE-2024-29859Critical
In MISP before version 2.4.187, the add_misp_export function in app/Controller/EventsController.php does not properly check for a valid file upload.

Original NVD description (English source)
An incorrect authorization vulnerability in MISP allows an organization administrator to target site administrator accounts belonging to the same organization through the administrative email functionality. The affected code restricted organization administrators to users within their own organization, but did not exclude accounts assigned a site administrator role from recipient queries. As a result, an organization administrator could perform privileged account-management actions, such as initiating a password reset workflow, against a higher-privileged site administrator account in the same organization. Successful exploitation may allow an authenticated organization administrator to interfere with or potentially take over a site administrator account, resulting in privilege escalation and full compromise of the MISP instance’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Attack prerequisites: The attacker must be authenticated as an organization administrator in the same organization as a site administrator account.
