CVE-2026-9137
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 · uneditedThe CSP report endpoint in MISP intended to limit logged CSP reports to 1 KB but incorrectly allowed reports up to 1 MB before truncation. On deployments where the endpoint is reachable by untrusted clients, this could allow attackers to generate excessive log volume and contribute to resource exhaustion or log flooding.
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 analysisA single request can consume unbounded CPU, memory, or connections, so a modest amount of malicious traffic exhausts the service. The result is denial of service for everyone else. Remediation is enforcing limits, quotas, and timeouts on what any one request can use.

dbcve · scoped2.5.38
MISP version 2.5.38 or later
- 1. Check current MISP version by navigating to Administration -> Server Settings -> MISP -> version, or running: git -C /var/www/MISP rev-parse --short HEAD
- 2. Create a complete backup of the MISP database and configuration files before upgrading
- 3. Navigate to the MISP directory: cd /var/www/MISP
- 4. Fetch the latest changes: git fetch origin
- 5. Checkout the fixed version: git checkout 2.5.38 (or git checkout $(git tag | tail -1) for the latest stable release)
- 6. Update PHP dependencies: composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
- 7. Clear caches: php /var/www/MISP/app/Console/cake Admin cacheClearAll
- 8. Verify the fix by checking the CSP report endpoint code contains the 1KB limit at /var/www/MISP/app/Controller/Component/ and that the truncation is properly enforced
