GHSA-X44Q-9W6W-P22F

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-15 09:30 – Updated: 2026-09-15 09:30

Details

Affected versions of MISP incorrectly filter dashboard templates that are restricted to a specific permission flag.

DashboardsController::listTemplates() allowed a template when either:

- its restrict_to_permission_flag matched one of the current user’s permission flags, or

- restrict_to_permission_flag equaled integer 0

However, restrict_to_permission_flag is a varchar. MySQL therefore performed numeric coercion when comparing the column against integer 0. Strings such as perm_site_admin convert numerically to zero, making expressions such as perm_site_admin = 0 evaluate true and causing the “unrestricted” branch to match permission-restricted templates as well.

Version affected: ≤2.5.45

Severity

5.3 (Medium)

Commit	Subject	Patch SHA-256
`245b8d63a379`	fix: [acl] Compare the dashboard template permission flag as	`ac03cd1103d5…`

Fix summary

The fix corrects the type mismatch in the permission flag comparison by replacing the integer literal 0 with the explicit string values '' and '0', which are the actual database values representing an unrestricted dashboard template. This ensures MySQL performs a proper string-to-string comparison, so only rows genuinely marked as unrestricted are returned, restoring the intended per-permission-level access control on dashboard templates.

Patch summary

In app/Controller/DashboardsController.php, the listTemplates() method's query condition was changed from ['Dashboard.restrict_to_permission_flag' => 0] to ['Dashboard.restrict_to_permission_flag' => ['', '0']]. A multi-line comment was added explaining that restrict_to_permission_flag is a VARCHAR column and that comparing it to integer 0 causes MySQL to coerce the column, making the clause a no-op. The two values that actually represent unrestricted access are the empty string (column default) and the string '0' (posted by the save form).

CVSS rationale

The vulnerability is exploitable over the network (AV:N) via the MISP web interface with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no attack target manipulation (AT:N). It requires a low-privilege authenticated user (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact is limited to confidentiality (VC:L) as restricted dashboard template definitions are disclosed to unauthorized users; there is no integrity or availability impact (VI:N, VA:N) and no secondary effects (SC:N, SI:N, SA:N). The severity is moderate because the disclosed data is dashboard template metadata rather than raw threat intelligence, but it still represents a breach of the intended access control boundary.

Weakness rationale

CWE-863 The permission-based filter on dashboard templates was effectively bypassed because the type-coerced comparison matched all rows, allowing any authenticated user to access templates restricted to higher-privilege roles. The authorization check was present in code but did not function correctly.
CWE-697 The root cause is a comparison between a VARCHAR column and an integer literal. MySQL's implicit type coercion caused the comparison to evaluate to TRUE for all non-numeric string values, making the intended filter a no-op. This is a classic incorrect comparison due to type mismatch.

Assumptions to verify

The affected version range is inferred from the tag_version_boundary (v2.5.46 with 200 commits after fix); no explicit affected or fixed version is stated in the patch metadata.
The vulnerability requires an authenticated MISP user with any role; the exact minimum privilege level needed to access the listTemplates endpoint is not specified in the patch.
The impact is assessed as Low confidentiality because the disclosed data is dashboard template definitions (layout, widget configuration) rather than raw threat intelligence or user credentials.
The MySQL type-coercion behavior described in the commit message and code comments is assumed to be accurate for the MySQL versions supported by MISP.

It requires a low-privilege authenticated user (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact is limited to confidentiality (VC:L) as restricted dashboard template definitions are disclosed to unauthorized users; there is no integrity or availability impact (VI:N, VA:N) and no secondary effects (SC:N, SI:N, SA:N). The severity is moderate because the disclosed data is dashboard template metadata rather than raw threat intelligence, but it still represents a breach of the intended access control boundary.",

                "fixSummary": "The fix corrects the type mismatch in the permission flag comparison by replacing the integer literal 0 with the explicit string values \u0027\u0027 and \u00270\u0027, which are the actual database values representing an unrestricted dashboard template. This ensures MySQL performs a proper string-to-string comparison, so only rows genuinely marked as unrestricted are returned, restoring the intended per-permission-level access control on dashboard templates.",

A multi-line comment was added explaining that restrict_to_permission_flag is a VARCHAR column and that comparing it to integer 0 causes MySQL to coerce the column, making the clause a no-op. The two values that actually represent unrestricted access are the empty string (column default) and the string \u00270\u0027 (posted by the save form).",
