Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) exists in MISP's event and shadow attribute listing endpoints due to improper validation of user-supplied 'order' or 'sort' parameters. The application directly incorporated these request parameters into database query ORDER BY clauses. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting malicious ordering parameters to manipulate SQL queries. Depending on database configuration, this may allow for unauthorized data extraction or modification. The vulnerability is resolved in version 2.5.37 by implementing strict validation against allowed model fields and normalizing sort directions.
