However, User->setupRedis() returns false when Redis cannot be reached. The vulnerable _shouldLog() logic only returned true when a Redis instance existed and no throttle key was present. Therefore, when Redis was unavailable, the function did not allow the log write at all, effectively silencing authentication-failure logging for the duration of the outage.
Version affected: ≤2.5.45

Vendor Solution
The _shouldLog() method now explicitly checks whether the Redis connection is available before attempting to use it. If setupRedis() returns false, the method immediately returns true, causing every authentication-failure event to be logged. This converts the previous fail-closed behavior (silence on dependency failure) into a fail-open behavior for security logging (log everything when the throttle state is unavailable), ensuring that a Redis outage cannot be used to suppress the audit trail of failed authentication attempts.

| Description | Affected versions of MISP use Redis to throttle repeated authentication-failure log entries. The intent is to avoid excessive duplicate logs while still recording failed authentication activity. However, User->setupRedis() returns false when Redis cannot be reached. The vulnerable _shouldLog() logic only returned true when a Redis instance existed and no throttle key was present. Therefore, when Redis was unavailable, the function did not allow the log write at all, effectively silencing authentication-failure logging for the duration of the outage. Version affected: ≤2.5.45 | |
