Arbitrary Code Execution in MISP Blocklist Workflow Module

Description

The MISP blocklist workflow module accepted a user-supplied blocklist filename parameter without validating the file extension. The only sanitization applied was basename() to strip path components and a check for empty or dot values. A site administrator could specify a filename with an arbitrary extension that would be placed in the MISP export directory. If the underlying web server is configured to interpret and execute scripts from that directory, the resulting file could be invoked, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the web server process. The vulnerability requires the attacker to hold site-administrator privileges within MISP, as the blocklist workflow module is restricted to that role. No additional user interaction is required beyond triggering the workflow action with a crafted filename parameter. The impact is full compromise of the MISP server's confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as arbitrary script execution grants the attacker the same privileges as the web server user. Version affected: <2.5.47

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in the MISP platform allows arbitrary code execution due to insufficient validation of file extensions in the blocklist workflow module. A site administrator could upload a file with a malicious extension to the MISP export directory. If the web server executes scripts from that directory, the attacker gains full control over the MISP server.

Detection Guidance

Check MISP logs for suspicious blocklist workflow actions with unusual filenames. Inspect the MISP export directory for files with unexpected extensions. Verify if the web server is configured to execute scripts from the export directory.

Impact Analysis

If you are a site administrator of a vulnerable MISP instance, an attacker with administrator privileges could exploit this to execute arbitrary code on your server. This could lead to complete compromise of the MISP server, including data theft, data manipulation, or denial of service.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and confidentiality. A successful exploit may result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, leading to legal penalties and compliance failures.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade MISP to version 2.5.47 or later. Ensure the blocklist workflow module enforces a whitelist of allowed file extensions (.txt, .list, .blocklist, .csv). Restrict write permissions to the export directory and disable script execution from it.
