MISP CTI-Transmute was found to contain a high-severity flaw in its evaluation report PDF-generation feature, tracked as CVE-2026-69078, that could let attackers trigger server-side request forgery (SSRF) and disclose local files. The issue stemmed from rendering user-controlled cyber threat intelligence content with WeasyPrint using its default URL-fetching behavior, allowing crafted http, https, or file references embedded in report content to be fetched during PDF creation. A successful attack could probe internal hosts, access services reachable from the CTI-Transmute server, retrieve readable local files, and potentially expose fetched content inside generated PDFs. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.4.0 and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8.
The fix hardens PDF rendering by introducing a custom URL fetcher that blocks filesystem and network access and permits only data: URIs during report generation. The patch also removes an external Google Fonts import and replaces it with a system font stack so the reporting workflow performs zero external fetches. The restricted fetcher is now explicitly applied to the WeasyPrint PDF rendering call, closing the path for malicious file:// and remote resource references embedded in untrusted CTI content.

CVE-2026-69078 was published as a high-severity vulnerability affecting CTI-Transmute versions through 1.4.0, describing SSRF and local file disclosure risks in evaluation report PDF generation. The entry states the issue was fixed by the earlier restrictive WeasyPrint fetcher change and removal of the external font stylesheet.
A code change in MISP CTI-Transmute hardened WeasyPrint-based evaluation PDF generation by adding a restrictive URL fetcher that only allows data URIs and by removing an external Google Fonts import. The patch was intended to prevent local file reads and network access triggered by crafted content during PDF rendering.

MISP Project released **CTI-Transmute 1.5** with 16 security fixes affecting versions `1.4` and earlier, including four **High** severity flaws. The most serious issues include unauthenticated HTML injection in PDF export that could lead to local file and internal URL access, CSRF that could let an attacker delete administrator accounts, unauthenticated SSRF in remote-MISP fetch routes, and an unauthenticated denial-of-service condition caused by an unbounded activity timeline parameter. Users were urged to upgrade promptly and review release notes because the update also introduces database schema renames, automatic migrations, and HTTP method changes that may affect existing integrations. The release also adds broader hardening measures and platform changes beyond the vulnerability fixes. MISP said version 1.5 introduces a nonce-based **Content Security Policy**, hardened session cookies, safer PDF rendering, resolved-IP validation for remote fetches, and conversion of state-changing `GET` routes to `POST` or `DELETE` with CSRF protection. The update further adds a first-class public API for the conversion catalogue, typed converter parameters, architectural refactoring around a converter registry and service separation, and an expanded automated test suite reaching 516 tests.

A high-severity server-side request forgery flaw tracked as **`CVE-2026-73160`** was disclosed in MISP's **cti-transmute** component, affecting the **`/fetch_misp_event`** and **`/misp_search_events`** endpoints. The issue stemmed from validation that blocked direct private or reserved IP literals but still accepted ordinary hostnames without resolving them first, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to supply a domain that resolved to an internal address and force the server to send requests into its internal network and return the responses. The vulnerability is rated **CVSS 4.0 8.7 (High)** and is mapped to **`CWE-918`**. MISP addressed the flaw by updating URL validation to resolve hostnames with **`socket.getaddrinfo()`** and reject targets if any resolved address is not globally routable, covering private, loopback, link-local, and reserved destinations. The fix also added **login protection** to both affected routes, reducing exposure of functionality that queries external MISP instances. Project notes indicate some residual DNS rebinding or post-validation DNS swap risk may remain for limited probing, but response-body exposure is constrained because valid TLS certificates are required for the hostname and redirects are not followed.

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security warned that **MISP CTI-Transmute** versions `<= 1.4.0` are affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including **CVE-2026-69082** and **CVE-2026-69079`. One flaw allows **cross-site request forgery (CSRF)** against the administrative user-deletion endpoint because `/account/delete/<id>` accepted HTTP `GET` requests for a state-changing action, letting an attacker trick a logged-in administrator into deleting a chosen user account. The issue could cause unauthorized state changes, denial of access for affected users, and potential disruption if administrator accounts are targeted. A second high-severity flaw allows **unauthenticated denial of service** through the `/activity_timeline` endpoint, where an unbounded `days` parameter could be abused to force excessive database, CPU, and memory consumption and degrade site availability. The advisory also referenced remediation for blocking file and network fetches during evaluation PDF rendering, alongside fixes that cap the timeline range and require `POST` plus CSRF protection for user deletion. Administrators were urged to review the linked fixes and apply updates as they become available.
