The findOrgImage method in MISP's OrgImgHelper constructs a filesystem path by concatenating a user-supplied organization identifier with a fixed image directory and a file extension, then calls file_exists() on the resulting path. The organization name field is attacker-controllable through event import, which sets Org.name. Because no validation was performed on the field value before path construction, an organization name containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../etc/passwd) would cause the path to resolve outside the intended org-image directory.
This yields two security impacts:
- an arbitrary file existence oracle, since file_exists() returns a boolean for any path the process can access.The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with the ability to create or import events that set the organization name.
