CVE-2026-77710 MISP CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations using misp-stix should be aware of this vulnerability and take necessary actions to prevent potential security risks. Affected operators should review their deployments and ensure that the patch is applied to prevent potential security risks. Platform administrators should verify that the patch is applied and monitor for suspicious STIX document imports. Vulnerability management teams should prioritize patching and verify the integrity of MISP attribute metadata. Security teams should review and apply the patch to prevent potential security risks and monitor for suspicious activity. Additionally, organizations should verify the integrity of MISP attribute metadata and monitor for suspicious STIX document imports to prevent potential security risks. This vulnerability could allow a crafted STIX document to influence security-sensitive MISP attribute metadata during import, potentially causing information to be shared contrary to the importing organization's policy or influencing downstream processing and automation based on attacker-controlled tags or metadata. Therefore, it is essential for organizations to prioritize patching and take necessary actions to prevent potential security risks. The vulnerability results from dynamically assigning externally supplied object properties without restricting them to an expected set of attributes, matching CWE-915. MITRE specifically describes this weakness as accepting externally influenced fields without controlling which object attributes may be modified and recommends an allow-list, which is the approach implemented by the patch. The attack is also consistent with CAPEC-153 (Input Data Manipulation), in which an attacker controls the structure or flags of supplied data so that the target selects a different processing path or interprets the content differently than intended. The accompanying fix explicitly notes that the parser choice was previously based solely on labels or header titles that any producer could write, and introduces an explicit classification parameter allowing callers to override this detection. For STIX2, the presence of MISP-specific tool labels could cause a document to be classified

Technical summary

The vulnerability results from dynamically assigning externally supplied object properties without restricting them to an expected set of attributes, matching CWE-915. The attack is also consistent with CAPEC-153 (Input Data Manipulation), in which an attacker controls the structure or flags of supplied data so that the target selects a different processing path or interprets the content differently than intended.

Defensive priority

Organizations using misp-stix should prioritize patching to prevent potential security risks.

Recommended defensive actions

• Review and apply the patch to prevent potential security risks
• Verify the integrity of MISP attribute metadata
• Monitor for suspicious STIX document imports
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
• Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance
• Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
