Vulnerability in MISP (CVE-2026-39962)
Summary
Vulnerability in MISP (CVE-2026-39962). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.5.36 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
MISP is an open source threat intelligence and sharing platform. Prior to 2.5.36, improper neutralization of special elements in an LDAP query in ApacheAuthenticate.php allows LDAP injection via an unsanitized username value when ApacheAuthenticate.apacheEnv is configured to use a user-controlled server variable instead of REMOTE_USER (such as in certain proxy setups). An attacker able to control that value can manipulate the LDAP search filter and potentially bypass authentication constraints or cause unauthorized LDAP queries. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.36.
