MISP CLI Authorization and Data Disclosure Flaws

Description

Affected versions of MISP’s interactive CLI shell implement access control independently from the normal web application, causing several authorization inconsistencies. The patch shows that CLI access could differ from the web application in multiple security-sensitive areas:  - feed listings did not enforce the same lookup_visible restrictions for non-host-organisation users;  - feed detail access did not enforce the same host-organisation/site-admin authorization as FeedsController::view();  - Feed.headers, which can contain HTTP authorization credentials, could be exposed instead of being hidden or masked;  - server synchronization authkey values were not explicitly hidden from CLI detail output;  - sharing-group detail access did not consistently use SharingGroup::checkIfAuthorised();  - the use command could establish context for a record without first proving that the user was authorized to view that record The commit additionally hardens pagination and terminal rendering, including neutralization of terminal control sequences found in database-backed values. Those are important hardening changes, but the main vulnerability is the CLI authorization/data-disclosure mismatch. Version affected: ≀2.5.45

CWE ID Description
CWE-522 The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval.
CWE-862 The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
CWE-150 The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could be interpreted as escape, meta, or control character sequences when they are sent to a downstream component.
CWE-200 The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves MISP's interactive CLI shell implementing access control separately from the web application, leading to authorization inconsistencies. The CLI did not enforce the same restrictions as the web interface in several areas, such as feed listings, sharing-group access, and record viewing. This mismatch could expose sensitive data like HTTP authorization credentials or server synchronization authkey values.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your MISP CLI shell (version ≀2.5.45) allows unauthorized access to sensitive data like feed headers, server sync authkeys, or sharing group details. Compare CLI output with web interface restrictions. Look for inconsistencies in feed listings, attribute visibility, or record access.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with CLI access could exploit these inconsistencies to view unauthorized data, such as feed details, sharing-group information, or sensitive credentials. This could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access to system resources, or further exploitation of the MISP platform.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating compliance requirements for data protection and privacy. GDPR and HIPAA mandate strict access controls and protection of personal or health information. Exploiting this flaw may result in non-compliance, legal penalties, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade MISP to a version higher than 2.5.45 to address the CLI authorization inconsistencies and data disclosure issues.
