CVE-2026-95682

MediumCVSS 4.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

MISP contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the admin email composition screen. The MISP.org organization name is interpolated directly into a JavaScript string literal without proper output encoding, allowing injection of arbitrary JavaScript. The injected script executes in the context of any authenticated user who loads the page, potentially enabling session hijacking, data exfiltration, or privileged actions.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can hijack administrator sessions, steal data, or perform unauthorized actions, posing a serious threat to the security of the MISP instance.

Recommendation

Apply MISP patches that properly encode output in a JavaScript context, and restrict the ability to modify the organization name to trusted administrators.

Original NVD description (English source)

MISP contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the admin email composition screen. The MISP.org organization name setting was interpolated directly into a JavaScript string literal using an unescaped PHP echo: var org = "<?php echo $org;?>";. Because the value was placed inside a double-quoted JavaScript string without any encoding, an organization name containing a double-quote character (or a backslash) could terminate the string literal and inject arbitrary JavaScript into the page. The injected script would execute in the context of any authenticated user who subsequently loads the admin email page, potentially allowing session hijacking, data exfiltration, or privileged actions performed on behalf of the victim. Exploitation requires the ability to set or modify the MISP.org organization name and a second authenticated user visiting the affected admin email view. The vulnerability is a classic instance of insufficient output encoding in a JavaScript context.
