MISP is a threat intelligence platform that organizations use to share and manage security event data. The ID Translator feature queries linked remote MISP servers to correlate events, but fails to properly validate or encode responses. A malicious or compromised remote server could inject JavaScript code into the host organization's users' browsers, enabling account takeover or credential theft.

Technical details

The ID Translator feature renders event IDs returned from remote linked MISP servers without output encoding, allowing injection of arbitrary HTML and JavaScript. An attacker controlling or compromising a configured remote MISP server can craft responses containing XSS payload that executes in the browser context of authenticated users who visit the ID Translator page. The fix involves casting event IDs to integers and escaping output in both UI themes.
