CVE-2026-8080 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in MISP affecting versions before 2.5.37. The flaw is in the old templating engine's template element attribute handling logic, where the application accepted arbitrary values for TemplateElementAttribute type and category fields without validating them against known MISP attribute type and category definitions. An attacker with permission to create or modify template element attributes could persist a crafted type value that is later rendered in the web interface, resulting in stored XSS.

This repository is a small Python proof-of-concept for a DKIM signature verification bypass described as CVE-2026-8080. It contains two code files: dkim_verifier_sim.py, which is the main demonstration, and exploit_dkim_bypass.py, which is only a stub that instructs the user to run the simulator. The core script builds a hardcoded raw email containing From, To, Subject, DKIM-Signature, and an extra X-Extra header, then parses headers and simulates flawed DKIM verification logic. The vulnerability modeled is a header canonicalization error: instead of verifying only the headers listed in the DKIM h= tag, the verifier also includes an extra header present in the message. The script then prints that verification passed incorrectly, illustrating how a vulnerable implementation could accept a modified message. There is no real network interaction, no live SMTP delivery, no cryptographic verification, and no weaponized payload; this is a conceptual local simulation of an email-based attack path. The repository’s purpose is educational/demonstrative rather than operational exploitation.
