MISP Dashboard Template ACL Bypass Due to VARCHAR-to-Integer Type Coercion in Permission Flag Comparison

Published Sep 15, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Affected versions of MISP incorrectly filter dashboard templates that are restricted to a specific permission flag.


DashboardsController::listTemplates() allowed a template when either:



 - its restrict_to_permission_flag matched one of the current user’s permission flags, or

 - restrict_to_permission_flag equaled integer 0






However, restrict_to_permission_flag is a varchar. MySQL therefore performed numeric coercion when comparing the column against integer 0. Strings such as perm_site_admin convert numerically to zero, making expressions such as perm_site_admin = 0 evaluate true and causing the “unrestricted” branch to match permission-restricted templates as well.



Version affected: ≤2.5.45

Remediation

Vendor Solution

The fix corrects the type mismatch in the permission flag comparison by replacing the integer literal 0 with the explicit string values '' and '0', which are the actual database values representing an unrestricted dashboard template. This ensures MySQL performs a proper string-to-string comparison, so only rows genuinely marked as unrestricted are returned, restoring the intended per-permission-level access control on dashboard templates.
