CVE-2026-95667
📛 CVE Title
MISP Installer Log and FIFO Created World-Readable, Exposing Sensitive Credentials
Description
The MISP installer scripts (for Debian 12, Debian 13, Ubuntu 24.04, and RHEL 9.4) create a log file at /var/log/misp_install.log and a named pipe (FIFO) at /var/log/misp_install.log.pipe to capture all installer output. The log captures highly sensitive data including the generated admin password, database passwords, GPG passphrase, and supervisor password. However, the log file was created by the tee command under the system default umask, resulting in world-readable permissions (typically 0644). Similarly, the FIFO was created with mkfifo without an explicit mode, also inheriting the default umask and remaining world-readable during the window before it was unlinked. Any local unprivileged user on the system could read the log file or the FIFO to obtain these credentials. Additionally, the log file was not removed before creation, meaning a pre-existing symlink in /var/log could have been used to redirect the write to an arbitrary location. Version affected: <2.5.47

"The affected version range is inferred from the tag_version_boundary (v2.5.47 with 38 commits after fix); the exact first affected version is not specified in the patch metadata.",
"The vulnerability is transient in the sense that it only manifests during the installer execution window, but the log file persists on disk after installation and remains world-readable unless the administrator manually changes permissions or removes it.",
"The CVSS assumes the log file remains on disk after installation; if it is immediately removed by the installer, the exposure window is shorter but the file is still readable during the installation process.",
"CAPEC-135 is the closest available attack pattern; no CAPEC specifically covers 'reading a world-readable log file containing credentials,' so the general permission-misuse pattern is the best match.",
"The symlink attack vector (CWE-22) is a secondary concern addressed by the same patch; the primary vulnerability is the incorrect file permissions (CWE-732).",
"The installer is assumed to run as root (standard for system installation scripts), which is why 0600 permissions restrict access to root only."
],
"capecRationale": [
{
"capecId": "CAPEC-135",
"rationale": "The most direct attack pattern is a local unprivileged user simply reading the world-readable log file at /var/log/misp_install.log to harvest sensitive credentials. No complex exploitation is required beyond file read access. CAPEC-135 covers the general pattern of an attacker leveraging misconfigured file permissions to access sensitive data. The symlink variant (CWE-22) could also map to CAPEC-135 as a sub-technique of permission exploitation."

"cvssRationale": "Attack Vector is Local because the attacker must have a local account or shell access on the system where the MISP installer runs. Attack Complexity is Low because reading a world-readable file requires no special conditions. No Attack Target manipulation is needed. Privileges Required is None because the file is world-readable (0644) and any unprivileged local user can read it. No User Interaction is required. Confidentiality impact is High because the log contains the admin password, database passwords, GPG passphrase, and supervisor password, granting full compromise of the MISP deployment. Integrity and Availability impacts are None. Scope is Not Changed because the exposed credentials belong to the same MISP system. The vulnerability is transient (only during installation) but the log file persists after installation unless manually removed.",
