CVE-2026-56447
HighCVSS 7.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk21th percentile - higher than 21% of all known CVEs
Summary
MISP allowed an authenticated site administrator to set the Kafka_rdkafka_config setting to an arbitrary filesystem path, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the MISP process.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could leverage a MISP-writable location to host a malicious configuration file, posing a risk of unauthorized access and potential damage to the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to restrict the setting to absolute .ini files located only in approved configuration directories outside the webroot and MISP upload targets.
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.
- CVE-2024-25674Critical
An issue was discovered in MISP before version 2.4.184 related to insecure organization logo uploads due to a lack of checks for file extension and MIME type.
- CVE-2023-50918Critical
In app/Controller/AuditLogsController.php in MISP before version 2.4.182, ACLs for audit logs are mishandled.
- CVE-2023-48659Critical
An issue was discovered in MISP before version 2.4.176 related to mishandling parameter parsing in app/Controller/AppController.php.
- CVE-2022-29528Critical
An issue was discovered in MISP before version 2.4.158 related to PHAR deserialization.
- CVE-2021-39302Critical
MISP version 2.4.148, in certain configurations, allows SQL injection via the $conditions['org'] value in the app/Model/Log.php file.
Original NVD description (English source)
MISP allowed an authenticated site administrator to set the Kafka_rdkafka_config setting to an arbitrary filesystem path. MISP subsequently parsed the referenced INI file and passed its options to rdkafka. A crafted attacker-controlled configuration file could use rdkafka options such as plugin.library.paths to load an external library, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the MISP process. An attacker could leverage a MISP-writable location, such as an uploaded file or administrative image, to host the malicious configuration file. The issue is fixed by restricting the setting to absolute .ini files located only in approved configuration directories outside the webroot and MISP upload targets.
