New CVE Detected

CVE-2026-67178 – Open Redirect – MISP installer-generated Apache configuration (versions before 2.5.

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-67178 is an open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) affecting MISP installations before version 2.5.41. MISP installation scripts generated an Apache HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect that lacked a trailing slash on the destination URL, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to craft URLs on the legitimate MISP domain that redirect victims to attacker-controlled sites. The issue is rated HIGH severity (CVSS v4.0 base score 7.8).

Technical details

  • Root cause: MISP installation scripts created an Apache virtual-host configuration containing the directive Redirect permanent / https://misp.example without a trailing slash on the destination. Apache’s Redirect directive appends the portion of the requested path following the matched prefix directly to the configured destination URL, so the appended data was concatenated onto the hostname rather than onto its URL path.
  • Trigger conditions: An attacker crafts a URL under the legitimate MISP HTTP host, e.g. http://misp.example/@attacker.example/. The malformed redirect produces https://[email protected]/, where standard URL parsing treats misp.example as user information and attacker.example as the actual destination host. A victim must follow the crafted HTTP link.
  • Attack vector: Network; unauthenticated (no privileges required). Exploitation requires user interaction (the victim following the crafted URL).
  • Impact: Redirection of users from the trusted MISP domain to an attacker-controlled website, enabling phishing, credential collection, and potential disclosure of sensitive query-string information preserved during the redirect.

Affected software

  • MISP versions from 0 up to (but not including) 2.5.41, when installed using the affected installer-generated Apache configurations.
  • Affected installer/configuration files include: INSTALL/INSTALL.debian12.sh, INSTALL/INSTALL.debian13.sh, INSTALL/INSTALL.ubuntu2404.sh, INSTALL/apache.misp.centos7.ssl, and INSTALL/xINSTALL.rhel94.sh.

Severity

  • CVSS v4.0 base score: 7.8 (HIGH)
  • Vector string: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:H

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Upgrade to MISP 2.5.41 or later, which ships the corrected installation scripts.
  • If no patch (or for existing installations): Review the Apache HTTP virtual-host configuration and ensure the HTTPS redirect destination ends with a trailing slash — change Redirect permanent / https://misp.example to Redirect permanent / https://misp.example/. Validate the change with apachectl configtest and reload Apache to apply it.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
