CVE-2026-56423: MISP Core: Broken access control allows instance-wide unauthorized deletion of event reports and sharing groups via bulk deletion endpoints
MISP Core contained broken access-control checks in the bulk deletion flows for Event Reports and Sharing Groups. The affected deleteSelection handlers authorized deletion using broad role-level permissions instead of validating authorization for each selected object.
For Event Reports, EventReportsController::deleteSelection relied on the global permadd capability rather than a per-report ownership/authorization check. As a result, a contributor-level user could submit report IDs or UUIDs for reports belonging to other organisations and hard-delete them instance-wide. The fix changed the callback to call EventReport::fetchIfAuthorized($user, $itemId, 'delete') for each selected report before deletion.
For Sharing Groups, SharingGroupsController::deleteSelection relied on the global permsharinggroup capability rather than verifying ownership of each selected sharing group. This allowed a sharing-group-capable user to hard-delete sharing groups owned by other organisations, bypassing the per-object ownership gate used by the single-object delete action. The fix changed the callback to call SharingGroup::checkIfOwner($user, $itemId) for each selected sharing group.
An authenticated attacker with the relevant broad role permission could abuse the affected bulk deletion endpoints to delete objects outside their organisation’s authorization scope, causing loss of event-report content or sharing-group configuration across the instance.
Affected Software
Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Configuration
Modify the EventReportsController::deleteSelection handler to call EventReport::fetchIfAuthorized($user, $itemId, 'delete') for each selected report prior to performing deletion so that each report's per-object authorization is validated.
EventReportsController::deleteSelection (MISP Core) authorization_check = call EventReport::fetchIfAuthorized($user, $itemId, 'delete') for each selected report - Configuration
Modify the SharingGroupsController::deleteSelection handler to call SharingGroup::checkIfOwner($user, $itemId) for each selected sharing group prior to performing deletion to verify ownership for each object.
SharingGroupsController::deleteSelection (MISP Core) ownership_check = call SharingGroup::checkIfOwner($user, $itemId) for each selected sharing group
