Summary

A vulnerability in MISP arises from relying on CakePHP's request-method override processing, which can disable CSRF and form-security validation. CakePHP honors the _method field or X-HTTP-Method-Override header by rewriting the effective request method. For override values outside the standard verbs (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), CakePHP clears the request body, causing MISP to skip _validatePost() and _validateCsrf(). An attacker can send a form with _method=GET to bypass protections.

Risk Assessment

The risk is the possibility of CSRF attacks that could lead to unauthorized actions in MISP, such as configuration changes or data manipulation, without user awareness.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade MISP to a version newer than 2.5.45 that includes a fix. Additionally, consider disabling method overriding in CakePHP configuration if not required.

Original NVD description (English source)

Affected versions of MISP rely on CakePHP request-method override processing in a way that can disable CSRF and form-security validation. CakePHP honors a _method field or X-HTTP-Method-Override header by rewriting the effective request method. For override values outside the normal write verbs POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE, CakePHP also clears the parsed request body. MISP’s security component then determines whether to perform _validatePost() and _validateCsrf() based on whether request data remains. With a value such as: _method=GET the body becomes empty before those checks run, so both protections are skipped. A cross-site form containing only that override can therefore reach actions whose parameters are taken from the URL rather than the request body Version affected: ≤2.5.45
