CVE-2026-104914: MISP contains an improper access control vulnerability in its attribute search and paginated attribute view endpoints.

MISP contains an improper access control vulnerability in its attribute search and paginated attribute view endpoints.

MISP contains an improper access control vulnerability in its attribute search and paginated attribute view endpoints. When a user queries for soft-deleted attributes (e.g., via the deleted-attributes search or the paginated attribute listing), the application returned soft-deleted attributes belonging to events owned by other organizations to any authenticated user who had visibility of the event. The event detail view correctly restricted soft-deleted attribute visibility to the owning organization and sync-permission users, but the attribute search and paginated view code paths lacked this restriction. Preconditions: - An authenticated MISP user with at least read access to an event owned by another organization. - The user issues a query for deleted attributes (search or paginated view with the deleted filter). Impact: - Confidentiality: Soft-deleted threat intelligence attributes (e.g., IOCs, indicators, context) from other organizations are disclosed to unauthorized users. This may expose sensitive intelligence that the owning organization intended to remove from general visibility. Affected versions: MISP versions prior to v2.5.48.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses MISP, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.21%, higher than 11% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 28, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
