CVE-2026-95698 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-22

MISP, a threat intelligence platform, contains a vulnerability in its organization logo retrieval feature that allows authenticated users to exploit directory traversal. An attacker can craft an organization name with path traversal sequences (such as ../../) to read arbitrary PNG and SVG files on the server, or probe for file existence. This requires authentication and event import privileges but does not require interaction from other users.

## Technical details

The findOrgImage method in OrgImgHelper constructs filesystem paths by concatenating user-supplied organization identifiers (name, ID, or UUID) with a fixed directory prefix and file extension (.png or .svg) without sanitizing path traversal sequences. An authenticated user importing an event with a crafted organization name containing ../ segments can resolve paths outside the intended org-image directory, enabling both an arbitrary file existence oracle via file_exists() and limited file read access for files matching the PNG or SVG extensions.
