CVE-2026-94277
📛 CVE Title
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in MISP Galaxy Matrix Statistics via Unescaped Galaxy Name
Description
MISP's galaxy matrix statistics view (app/View/Users/statistics_galaxymatrix.ctp) renders the galaxy name directly into HTML output via sprintf() without any HTML encoding. An authenticated user holding the perm_galaxy_editor permission can create or modify a galaxy whose name contains arbitrary HTML or JavaScript markup. Because the value is interpolated verbatim into the page, any user who subsequently opens the galaxy matrix statistics page will have the embedded script executed in their browser context. This enables session hijacking, credential theft, data exfiltration, or the performance of arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim within the MISP application. Version affected: <2.5.47

Microsoft's Fastest Fix Is a Mitigation , Not a Patch The important detail in Microsoft's May 14 notice is that there is no permanent Exchange security update available yet for CVE - 2026 -42897. Microsoft says it is working on one and will release it later for affected supported paths, but today's defensive action is mitigation .

"cvssRationale": "AV:N: The attack is delivered over the network via the MISP web interface. AC:L: Creating a galaxy with a script-bearing name requires no special timing or race condition. AT:N: No additional attack complexity beyond normal application use. PR:L: The attacker needs an authenticated account with perm_galaxy_editor, a low-privilege role. UI:P: The victim must visit the galaxy matrix statistics page, a legitimate page they may open during normal work; no specific tricked action (click, download) is required. VC/VI/VA:N: The MISP server itself suffers no direct confidentiality, integrity, or availability loss; the payload executes client-side. SC:H: The victim's browser session is fully compromised (cookies, tokens, in-page data). SI:H: The attacker can perform arbitrary actions in the victim's authenticated session. SA:N: No denial-of-service impact on the victim's browser. Assumption: perm_galaxy_editor is a low-privilege role (PR:L); if it requires higher clearance, PR could be H.",
