Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-15 12:31 – Updated: 2026-09-15 12:31

Details

Affected versions of MISP do not consistently apply the existing authentication-failure logging throttle.

Two API authentication failure branches wrote directly to the Log model:

- API requests with no authentication key; - requests supplying an API key with an incorrect length

Unlike other authentication failures, these paths bypassed _shouldLog(), so every request could create another durable auth_fail entry.

Version affected: ≤2.5.45

Severity

6.9 (Medium)

`2bf887433651`	fix: [logging] Throttle the two unguarded auth_fail writes	`db6f78e69079…`

Fix summary

The fix applies the existing hourly per-key log throttle to the two previously unguarded authentication-failure log writes. The throttle key is now derived from the client's source IP address rather than from caller-supplied input, preventing an attacker from generating unbounded Redis throttle entries. A per-request memo (stored in Configure::read('CurrentRequestAuthFailKeys')) is added to _shouldLog() to prevent duplicate log entries when beforeFilter() executes a second time via CakeErrorController on an exception, ensuring one request produces at most one log entry per key regardless of the operator's log_each_individual_auth_fail setting.

Patch summary

In app/Controller/AppController.php: (1) The 'no authkey' branch in beforeFilter() now calls _shouldLog('noauthkey:' . $this->User->_remoteIp()) before writing the log entry. (2) The 'incorrect length' branch in __loginByAuthKey() now calls _shouldLog('badauthkeylength:' . $this->User->_remoteIp()) before writing the log entry. (3) _shouldLog() is refactored to first check a per-request memo array (Configure 'CurrentRequestAuthFailKeys') to suppress duplicate logging across the double beforeFilter() invocation, then evaluate the log_each_individual_auth_fail setting, then fall through to the Redis EXISTS/SETEX 3600-second throttle, and finally record the key in the memo. The Redis-unavailable fallback (log everything) is preserved.

CVSS rationale

The vulnerable paths are reachable over the network (AV:N) with no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N). The attack complexity is low (AC:L): an attacker simply sends repeated HTTP requests to the MISP API without an API key or with a key of the wrong length. No attack target is required (AT:N). There is no impact on confidentiality (VC:N, SC:N) or integrity (VI:N, SI:N). The availability impact is high (VA:H) because unbounded log writes can exhaust database storage, degrade query performance, and ultimately make the MISP instance unavailable. No secondary availability impact (SA:N) is evident from the patch.

Weakness rationale

CWE-770 Two authentication-failure log write paths lacked any rate-limiting or throttling mechanism, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to generate an unbounded number of database log entries and exhaust storage or I/O resources. The fix adds the missing hourly per-key throttle.
CWE-400 The unthrottled log writes constitute uncontrolled consumption of database write capacity and disk storage, enabling a denial-of-service condition. CWE-770 is the more specific primary weakness; CWE-400 captures the broader resource-exhaustion impact.

Assumptions to verify

The tag_version_boundary (v2.5.46, 188 commits after fix) is used as an approximate upper bound for affected versions; the exact fixed release tag is not stated in the patch metadata.
The log entries are written to a relational database (MySQL/PostgreSQL) via MISP's Log model, based on the createLogEntry() call pattern; the specific backend is not confirmed in the patch.
The Redis instance used for throttling is assumed to be co-located with the MISP application; a Redis outage degrades to logging everything (fail-open), which is a design choice documented in the patch comments.
CVSS VA:H assumes that sustained unthrottled log writes can exhaust storage or I/O capacity sufficient to degrade or halt the MISP service; actual impact depends on deployment sizing and disk capacity.

                "cvssRationale": "The vulnerable paths are reachable over the network (AV:N) with no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N). The attack complexity is low (AC:L): an attacker simply sends repeated HTTP requests to the MISP API without an API key or with a key of the wrong length. No attack target is required (AT:N). There is no impact on confidentiality (VC:N, SC:N) or integrity (VI:N, SI:N). The availability impact is high (VA:H) because unbounded log writes can exhaust database storage, degrade query performance, and ultimately make the MISP instance unavailable. No secondary availability impact (SA:N) is evident from the patch.",

                "fixSummary": "The fix applies the existing hourly per-key log throttle to the two previously unguarded authentication-failure log writes. The throttle key is now derived from the client\u0027s source IP address rather than from caller-supplied input, preventing an attacker from generating unbounded Redis throttle entries. A per-request memo (stored in Configure::read(\u0027CurrentRequestAuthFailKeys\u0027)) is added to _shouldLog() to prevent duplicate log entries when beforeFilter() executes a second time via CakeErrorController on an exception, ensuring one request produces at most one log entry per key regardless of the operator\u0027s log_each_individual_auth_fail setting.",
