Description

MISP contains an access control flaw in the EventReports functionality. The replaceSuggestionInReport action, which allows modification of suggestion content within an event report, was incorrectly mapped to the wildcard permission ('*') in the ACLComponent, making it accessible to any authenticated user regardless of their assigned permissions. All analogous report-modification actions correctly required the perm_add permission, while read-only actions such as downloadAsPDF appropriately used the wildcard.Β  An authenticated user without the perm_add permission could invoke the replaceSuggestionInReport endpoint to alter report suggestion data, violating the intended authorization model.Β  This constitutes an improper authorization weakness that could lead to unauthorized modification of event report content, potentially corrupting shared threat intelligence data or injecting misleading information into reports relied upon by other analysts and automated consumers.

Executive Summary

MISP has an access control flaw in the EventReports feature. The replaceSuggestionInReport action, meant to modify suggestion content in event reports, was incorrectly set to use a wildcard permission ('*'). This allowed any authenticated user to use it, even without proper permissions. Normally, similar actions require the perm_add permission, but this one did not.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check MISP logs for unauthorized access attempts to the replaceSuggestionInReport endpoint. Look for requests from users without perm_add permission attempting to modify report suggestions. Use commands like grep to search logs for suspicious activity.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with valid login credentials but no perm_add permission could exploit this to alter report suggestions. This could corrupt shared threat intelligence data or inject false information, misleading analysts and automated systems that rely on these reports.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply the security fix by updating MISP to the latest version that includes the ACLComponent.php change. Ensure all users have the correct permissions and review logs for any past unauthorized access attempts.
