CVE-2026-112188 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-19

MISP is a threat intelligence sharing platform that stores sensitive server configuration such as encryption keys and database passwords. An authenticated attacker can bypass redaction protections by requesting configuration branch names instead of specific settings, causing the server to expose secrets including security salts, Redis passwords, and API keys.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 2.5.48

## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the server settings lookup mechanism (Server::getSettingData()) which fails to validate that resolved configuration names refer to leaf settings rather than branch nodes. Branch nodes lack redaction flags, allowing attackers to bypass the redaction check in the /servers/getSetting and /servers/serverSettingsEdit endpoints. An authenticated user can supply a branch name (e.g., "Security", "MISP", "Plugin") to retrieve entire configuration subtrees containing sensitive values.
