CVE-2026-103651
MISP HOTP Token Replay via Stale Session-Cached Counter Allows Second-Factor Authentication Bypass
Description

MISP contains a vulnerability in its one-time password (OTP) authentication flow that allows replay of a consumed HOTP (paper) token and rewinding of the token counter. The HOTP verification logic compared the submitted token against a counter value that was cached in the user's session at the time the password was entered, rather than against the authoritative counter stored in the database. Because the session-cached counter is not updated after a token is successfully consumed, an attacker who holds a valid session (password already submitted) can reuse a previously burned HOTP token. The stale cached counter still matches the replayed token, granting a second successful authentication and effectively rewinding the counter state. Preconditions: - The target user has HOTP (paper token) second-factor authentication enabled. - The attacker possesses a valid session in which the password step has already been completed (the OTP step is pending). - The attacker has access to at least one HOTP token value (e.g., a paper token list). Security impact: - Bypass of the second authentication factor, allowing unauthorized access to a user's MISP account. - Corruption of the HOTP counter state, potentially invalidating subsequent legitimate tokens or enabling further replays. Affected versions: <2.5.48.

Solution
Update MISP to version 2.5.48 or later to fix OTP replay and counter rewinding vulnerability.
  • Update MISP to version 2.5.48 or later.
  • Verify OTP verification logic uses authoritative counter.
  • Ensure session counter is updated after token consumption.
  • Invalidate potentially compromised sessions.
