CVE-2026-20890 (GCVE-0-2026-20890)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-11 16:26 – Updated: 2026-08-12 15:35
VLAI
Summary
Improper privilege management for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows within Ring 2: Privileged Process may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (high) impacts.

Title
MISP user edit endpoint mass assignment vulnerability allows unauthorized user account modification
Summary
A mass assignment vulnerability exists in the MISP user edit functionality due to insufficient filtering of user-supplied fields in UsersController::edit(). When processing edit requests, the application accepted a user-controlled User.id value from request data. An authenticated attacker could craft a modified request containing another user identifier, potentially causing updates to be applied to an unintended user account. Depending on the editable fields and the attacker’s privileges, this could allow unauthorized modification of user account attributes and impact account integrity. The issue was addressed by explicitly removing the User.id field from request data before processing the user edit operation. If MISP.disableUserSelfManagement is enabled on the instance, non-admin users can not use the vulnerable endpoint.

Title
MISP Privilege Escalation: Read-Only API Key User Can Regain Full Role via updateLoginTime
Summary
MISP has a security issue that can let a user gain more access than their API key is supposed to allow. A read-only API key should only let someone view information. However, after logging in with such a key, a specific MISP function could accidentally restore the user’s normal account permissions. This means someone with a read-only API key could potentially gain write, delete, or even administrator access if their underlying account has those permissions. Exploiting the issue requires a valid read-only API key and a single request to the affected function. The main impact is that MISP’s API key restrictions can be bypassed, allowing actions that the API key was specifically meant to prevent. Version affected: <2.5.47

fd27e592a617 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.

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.",

Title
Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Command Injection Vulnerability
Summary
A vulnerability in the lockdown mechanism of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform arbitrary commands as root. This vulnerability is due to insufficient restrictions on remediation modules while in lockdown mode. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted input to the system CLI of the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to run arbitrary commands or code as root, even when the system is in lockdown mode. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

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.
