Summary
MISP versions before 2.5.48 contain a defect in the event save workflow that stops the correlation engine from recalculating correlations when an event's distribution level or sharing group changes. The internal before-save hook stores the new data instead of the previously saved values, so the after-save comparison never detects the change and stale correlations persist. An authenticated user with write access to an event can trigger this by editing its distribution or sharing group. Stale correlations may expose event data to users in a broader sharing group after the event is made more restrictive, and new relevant correlations may not appear after distribution is widened.

Description from the CNA
MISP contains a defect in its event save workflow that prevents the correlation engine from recalculating correlations when an event's distribution level or sharing group is modified. When a user edits an existing event and changes its distribution or sharing_group_id, the internal before-save hook stored the incoming (new) data rather than the previously persisted values. As a result, the after-save comparison that determines whether a correlation refresh is needed never detected the change, and stale correlations persisted. Security impact: - Stale correlations may continue to expose event data to users in a broader sharing group after the event has been moved to a more restrictive group, resulting in unintended information disclosure. - Conversely, newly relevant correlations may not appear after a distribution widening, degrading the completeness of threat intelligence sharing. Preconditions: - An authenticated user with write access to at least one MISP event. - The user modifies the event's distribution or sharing_group_id field. Affected versions: <2.5.48
