Group hierarchy checks do not consistently account for superuser status inherited from ancestor groups, and role assignment to a group lacks the required authorization check. Only deployments that delegate these management capabilities to accounts that are not full administrators are affected. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.2.7, 2026.5.7, and 2026.8.2."

fix: [security] read only api keys can regain full role | d4143841f5f0… |
Fix summary
The fix removes the call to User::getAuthUser() and Auth::login() from the updateLoginTime() method, which was re-authenticating the user with their full role permissions. It replaces this with a call to _refreshAuth(), which refreshes the authentication state while preserving the current (restricted) permission level associated with the API key, preventing privilege escalation.
Patch summary
In app/Controller/UsersController.php, the updateLoginTime() method is modified: the lines that fetched the user record via User::find(), called User::getAuthUser() to retrieve the full auth user, and called Auth::login() to re-establish the session are removed. These are replaced with a single call to $this->_refreshAuth(), which updates the authentication context without upgrading the permission scope. Net change: 1 insertion, 6 deletions.
CVSS rationale
AV:N - the endpoint is accessible over the network via HTTP POST. AC:L - the attack requires only a single POST request to a known endpoint; no race conditions or complex timing. AT:N - no manipulation of the target system is needed beyond the API call. PR:L - the attacker must possess a valid read-only API key (authenticated user). UI:N - no user interaction is required. VC:H - the escalated user can read all data in the MISP instance that their full role permits. VI:H - the escalated user can create, modify, and delete threat intelligence data. VA:H - the escalated user can delete data, modify configurations, or disrupt the MISP service. SC/SI/SA:N - the impact is confined to the MISP instance itself; no cascading impact on other systems is evidenced.
Weakness rationale
- CWE-269 The system fails to maintain the restricted privilege level (read-only) associated with the API key authentication. The updateLoginTime endpoint re-establishes the session with the user's full role permissions, effectively granting higher privileges than the authentication credential intended. This is a failure to properly manage and enforce the privilege boundary during session refresh.
Attack pattern rationale
- CAPEC-114 The vulnerability arises because the updateLoginTime endpoint incorrectly reconfigures the user's privilege level during session refresh, upgrading from the API-key-scoped read-only permissions to the user's full role. The attacker exploits this misconfiguration by simply calling the endpoint. CAPEC-114 is the closest match as it covers scenarios where an application incorrectly assigns or maintains privilege levels. Uncertainty: no CAPEC specifically covers 'session privilege escalation via auth refresh,' so this is the best available approximation.
Assumptions to verify
- The tag_version_boundary indicates the fix commit is 141 commits before v2.5.47, implying v2.5.47 contains the fix; versions prior to v2.5.47 are assumed affected. No explicit version range is stated in the patch.
- The _refreshAuth() method is assumed to preserve the current API-key-scoped permission level rather than re-fetching full role permissions; this is inferred from the commit subject and the removal of getAuthUser()/Auth::login().
- The 'full role' referenced in the commit subject is assumed to be a higher-privilege role (e.g., admin or site admin) compared to the read-only API key scope.
- CAPEC-114 is the closest available attack pattern; no CAPEC specifically models session privilege escalation via authentication refresh, so this mapping carries some uncertainty.
- CVSS impact metrics (VC/VI/VA) assume the user's full role grants broad administrative access to the MISP instance; actual impact depends on the specific role assigned to the user.

"value": "The Optima Express IDX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 8.7.5. This is due to the `provisionBlogCredentials()` function in `iHomefinderAdmin.php` being reachable via the `wp_ajax_nopriv_ihf_clear_cache` AJAX action \u2014 through the call chain `iHomefinderAjaxHandler::clearCache()` \u2192 `activateAuthenticationToken()` \u2192 `getAuthenticationInfo()` \u2192 `provisionBlogCredentials()` \u2014 with no capability check, nonce verification, or ownership validation, and the function unconditionally calling `$user-\u003eset_role(\u0027author\u0027)` on whichever WordPress account matches the hard-coded login `optima-express` via `get_user_by(\u0027login\u0027, \u0027optima-express\u0027)`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to escalate a pre-registered `optima-express` account to the Author role, gaining `publish_posts`, `upload_files`, and `edit_published_posts` capabilities, including access to the plugin\u0027s own `/wp-json/optima-express/v1/blog-post` REST endpoint. Exploitation requires open user registration to be enabled on the target site, and the attacker must register the `optima-express` username before the plugin has had the opportunity to provision that login for its own integration account."

"value": "vm2 through 3.11.6 contains a builtin-module denylist bypass in NodeVM. When the embedder uses the builtin wildcard together with negative entries (e.g. require: { builtin: [\u0027*\u0027, \u0027-fs\u0027, \u0027-child_process\u0027] }), negative entries are matched by exact module name in lib/builtin.js, so -fs removes only the builtin named fs and does not remove builtin subpaths such as fs/promises. Sandboxed code can therefore call require(\u0027fs/promises\u0027) or require(\u0027node:fs/promises\u0027) and reach the promise-based filesystem API despite fs being denied; node: prefix handling is likewise inconsistent (a -node:fs/promises entry does not block require(\u0027fs/promises\u0027)). Host file creation and writing were confirmed via fsp.writeFile(), and other fs/promises operations (cp, mkdir, rename, rm, rmdir, truncate, read operations, etc.) are also reachable. This issue is fixed in vm2 3.11.7."

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-48
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation MIT-49
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse
An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.
CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation
An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.
CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation
An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
