CVE-2026-116372: MISP mispguard HTTP status code bypass in feed filtering

CVE-2026-116372 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-26

MISP mispguard is a security filter that inspects feed data before it reaches a MISP threat intelligence platform. The filter incorrectly passes through HTTP responses with 2xx status codes other than 200 (such as 203 or 206) without inspection, allowing a malicious feed source to inject unfiltered or malicious content into MISP and bypass security controls.

Vendors: Misp.

Technical details

The process_feed_response method in src/mispguard.py only explicitly filtered responses with non-200 status codes, assuming non-200 responses would not be ingested. However, other 2xx status codes (201, 203, 206) are still processed by MISP and bypassed the filtering logic. An attacker controlling or compromising a configured feed endpoint can return a 2xx response other than 200 with malicious content, effectively bypassing mispguard's security rules.
