How to Fix CVE-2026-54395

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-54395, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

MISP contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the UiBeta event index view. The urlparams value is inserted into an inline JavaScript handler using HTML escaping inside a single-quoted JavaScript string. Because browsers HTML-decode attribute values before JavaScript parsing, a crafted searcheventinfo value can restore encoded quote characters and break out of the JavaScript string. An attacker could craft a malicious URL that, when opened by a victim using the UiBeta event index, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim’s browser in the context of the MISP instance. The issue is fixed by encoding the value as a JavaScript string literal with json_encode() before applying HTML escaping at the attribute layer.
