Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
MISP core contained multiple broken access-control flaws where authorization checks were performed against the wrong entity, or where ownership/editability checks were missing on write paths. In affected subsystems, a lower-privileged authenticated user with the relevant feature permission could cause the application to authorize one object but mutate another, or could modify objects that were merely visible rather than editable by the user’s organization. The affected paths included: * Event Reports tag removal: the route-authorized report could differ from the report ID used for tag detachment, enabling cross-organization tag removal from another event report * Collection Elements bulk deletion: bulk deletion authorized against a collection whose ID matched the collection-element row ID, rather than the element’s actual parent collection, enabling deletion of elements from collections the user did not own. * Analyst Data capture/update: nested analyst data updates could overwrite an existing record without applying the normal canEditAnalystData ownership check, enabling cross-organization overwrite of analyst data records. * Template Elements editing: editing authorized against a template whose ID matched the template-element ID, rather than the element’s actual parent template, enabling unauthorized edits to another organization’s template elements. * Decaying Model editing and mappings: write paths loaded models using view-scope access but did not verify edit ownership, enabling users to edit or remap visible models owned by another organization.  Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated user with subsystem-specific permissions to perform unauthorized cross-organization modifications or deletions of MISP data, resulting in integrity loss, unauthorized tampering with shared intelligence, and disruption of analyst workflows.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-639

The application uses a user-supplied identifier to look up a record without checking that the requester actually owns it, so changing the identifier in a request returns someone else's data. This is the classic insecure-direct-object-reference — the change-the-ID-in-the-URL bug. Remediation is authorizing every object access against the acting user, not merely confirming they are logged in.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.5.42

  1. Backup your MISP database and all configuration files before proceeding with the upgrade
  2. Stop MISP services (web server, background workers) to ensure a safe upgrade process
  3. Upgrade MISP to version 2.5.42 or later by pulling the latest code from the official repository or using your package manager
  4. Run database migrations if required (typically: cd /var/www/MISP && ./app/Console/cake Admin updateDatabase)
  5. Restart MISP services after the upgrade completes
  6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the MISP version in the web interface (Administration -> Server Settings -> MISP -> version)
Caveat Review the MISP 2.5.42 release notes for any breaking changes or backward compatibility concerns before upgrading production systems
