CVE-2026-54393
Severity CVSS v4.0:
MEDIUM
Type:
CWE-79
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Publication date:

Description
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in MISP when the Overmind theme is used. The setHomePage endpoint previously saved the user-controlled path value through setSettingInternal(), bypassing the normal setSetting() validation logic, including validate_homepage, which requires homepage paths to start with /. As a result, an authenticated user could store an arbitrary homepage value, including an XSS payload.<br />
<br />
The stored value was later rendered in app/View/News/index.ctp as the href attribute of the “Continue to homepage” link without HTML escaping. This could allow execution of attacker-controlled JavaScript in the browser context of the affected MISP instance when the crafted homepage link is rendered and interacted with.<br />
<br />
The issue is fixed by always persisting the homepage setting through setSetting(), ensuring validation and access checks are applied, and by HTML-escaping the homepage value before rendering it in the news view.
