CVE-2026-104906 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-02

MISP is an open-source threat intelligence platform that helps organizations share and analyze threat data. The TAXII object viewer component fails to properly escape JSON content when displaying remote threat objects, allowing an attacker who can inject malicious content into a TAXII feed to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of any user who views that object. This could lead to theft of session tokens, API keys, or unauthorized actions within the MISP application.
