Authentication Bypass in MISP (CVE-2026-103651)
Summary
Authentication bypass in MISP (CVE-2026-103651). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
MISP contains a vulnerability in its one-time password (OTP) authentication flow that allows replay of a consumed HOTP (paper) token and rewinding of the token counter.
The HOTP verification logic compared the submitted token against a counter value that was cached in the user's session at the time the password was entered, rather than against the authoritative counter stored in the database. Because the session-cached counter is not updated after a token is successfully consumed, an attacker who holds a valid session (password already submitted) can reuse a previously burned HOTP token. The stale cached counter still matches the replayed token, granting a second successful authentication and effectively rewinding the counter state.
Preconditions:
-
The target user has HOTP (paper token) second-factor authentication enabled.
-
The attacker possesses a valid session in which the password step has already been completed (the OTP step is pending).
-
The attacker has access to at least one HOTP token value (e.g., a paper token list).
Security impact:
-
Bypass of the second authentication factor, allowing unauthorized access to a user's MISP account.
-
Corruption of the HOTP counter state, potentially invalidating subsequent legitimate tokens or enabling further replays.
Affected versions: <2.5.48.
