CVE-2026-104906: MISP TAXII Object Viewer Stored XSS via Unescaped JSON Output
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.36% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: MISP MISP 2.5.48.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to MISP MISP 2.5.48 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
MISP contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the TAXII object viewer. When displaying a remote TAXII object, the JSON content of string properties was rendered directly into an HTML pre block without HTML-encoding. An attacker who can control or influence the content of a TAXII object (e.g., by publishing a malicious object to a TAXII server that the victim's MISP instance subscribes to) can inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript that executes in the context of the victim's MISP session. Preconditions: - The victim must be an authenticated MISP user with access to the TAXII object viewer. - The victim must open or view the crafted TAXII object. Impact: - Execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser within the MISP application context. - Potential theft of session tokens, API keys, or other sensitive data accessible from the MISP interface. - Potential for performing actions on behalf of the authenticated user. Affected versions: <2.5.48.
