AI-suggested

Upgrade Lookyloo to version 1.39.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. No additional mitigation is required as the fix addresses the improper parameter handling.

Description

Lookyloo versions prior to 1.39.4 contain a vulnerability in the /json/<uuid>/report API endpoint where unauthenticated users can manipulate email and comment parameters to overwrite the as_admin flag. When as_admin is set to True, it triggers a search query on a configured MISP instance and adds matching URLs to an email sent to an analyst. This flaw could potentially cause a denial of service (DoS) on the MISP instance. The issue has been fixed in Lookyloo version 1.39.4.
