This document describes the MISP object template format which describes a simple JSON format to represent the various templates used to construct MISP objects. A public directory of common vocabularies MISP object templates is available and relies on the MISP object reference format.
Introduction
Due to the increased maturity of threat information sharing, the need arose for more complex and exhaustive data-points to be shared across the various sharing communities. MISP's information sharing in general relied on a flat structure of attributes contained within an event, where attributes served as atomic secluded data-points with some commonalities as defined by the encapsulating event. However, this flat structure restricted the use of more diverse and complex data-points described by a list of atomic values, a problem solved by the MISP object structure.
MISP objects combine a list of attributes to represent a singular object with various facets. In order to bootstrap the object creation process and to maintain uniformity among objects describing similar data-points, the MISP object template format serves as a reusable and share-able blueprint format.
MISP object templates also include a vocabulary to describe the various inter object and object to attribute relationships and are leveraged by MISP object references.
Conventions and Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 .
Format
MISP object templates are composed of the MISP object template (MUST) structure itself and a list of MISP object template elements (SHOULD) describing the list of possible attributes belonging to the resulting object, along with their context and settings.
MISP object templates themselves consist of a name (MUST), a meta-category (MUST) and a description (SHOULD). They are identified by a uuid (MUST) and a version (MUST). For any updates or transfer of the same object reference. UUID version 4 is RECOMMENDED when assigning it to a new object reference. The list of requirements when it comes to the contained MISP object template elements is defined in the requirements field (OPTIONAL).
MISP object template elements consist of an object_relation (MUST), a type (MUST), an object_template_id (SHOULD), a ui_priority (SHOULD), a list of categories (MAY), a list of sane_default values (MAY) or a values_list (MAY).
Overview
The MISP object template format uses the JSON format. Each template is represented as a JSON object with meta information including the following fields: uuid, requiredOneOf, description, version, meta-category, name.
Object Template
uuid
uuid represents the Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) of the object template. The uuid MUST be preserved for to keep consistency of the templates across instances. UUID version 4 is RECOMMENDED when assigning it to a new object template.
uuid is represented as a JSON string. uuid MUST be present.
requiredOneOf
requiredOneOf is represented as a JSON list and contains a list of attribute relationships of which one must be present in the object to be created based on the given template. The requiredOneOf field MAY be present.
required
required is represented as a JSON list and contains a list of attribute relationships of which all must be present in the object to be created based on the given template. The required field MAY be present.
description
description is represented as a JSON string and contains the assigned meaning given to objects created using this template. The description field MUST be present.
version
version represents a numeric incrementing version of the object template. It is used to associate the object to the correct version of the template and together with the uuid field forms an association to the correct template type and version.
version is represented as a JSON string. version MUST be present.
meta-category
meta-category represents the sub-category of objects that the given object template belongs to. meta-categories are not tied to a fixed list of options but can be created on the fly.
meta-category is represented as a JSON string. meta-category MUST be present.
name
name represents the human-readable name of the objects created using the given template, describing the intent of the object package.
name is represented as a JSON string. name MUST be present
attributes
attributes is represented as a JSON list and contains a list of template elements used as a template for creating the individual attributes within the object that is to be created with the object.
attributes is represented as a JSON list. attributes MUST be present.
description
description is represented as a JSON string and contains the description of the given attribute in the context of the object with the given relationship. The description field MUST be present.
ui-priority
ui-priority is represented by a numeric values in JSON string format and is meant to provide a priority for the given element in the object template visualisation. The ui-priority MAY be present.
misp-attribute
misp-attribute is represented by a JSON string or a JSON object with a list of values. The value(s) are taken from the pool of types defined by the MISP core format's Attribute Object's type list. type can contain a JSON object with a list of suggested value alternatives encapsulated in a list within a sane_default key or a list of enforced value alternatives encapsulated in a list_values key.
The misp-attribute field MUST be present.
disable_correlation
disable_correlation is represented by a JSON boolean. The disable_correlation field flags the attribute(s) created by the given object template element to be marked as non correlating.
The misp-attribute field MAY be present.
categories
categories is represented by a JSON list containing one or several valid options from the list of verbs valid for the category field in the Attribute object within the MISP core format.
The categories field MAY be present.
multiple
multiple is represented by a JSON boolean value. It marks the MISP object template element as a multiple input field, allowing for several attributes to be created by the element within the same object.
The multiple field MAY be present.
sane_default
sane_default is represented by a JSON list containing one or several recommended/sane values for an attribute. sane_default is mutually exclusive with values_list.
The sane_default field MAY be present.
values_list
values_list is represented by a JSON List containing one or several of fixed values for an attribute. values_list is mutually exclusive with sane_default.
The value_list field MAY be present.

- objects/intrusion-set - A object template describing an Intrusion Set as defined in STIX 2.1. An Intrusion Set is a grouped set of adversarial behaviors and resources with common properties that is believed to be orchestrated by a single organization. An Intrusion Set may capture multiple Campaigns or other activities that are all tied together by shared attributes indicating a commonly known or unknown Threat Actor. New activity can be attributed to an Intrusion Set even if the Threat Actors behind the attack are not known. Threat Actors can move from supporting one Intrusion Set to supporting another, or they may support multiple Intrusion Sets. Where a Campaign is a set of attacks over a period of time against a specific set of targets to achieve some objective, an Intrusion Set is the entire attack package and may be used over a very long period of time in multiple Campaigns to achieve potentially multiple purposes. While sometimes an Intrusion Set is not active, or changes focus, it is usually difficult to know if it has truly disappeared or ended. Analysts may have varying level of fidelity on attributing an Intrusion Set back to Threat Actors and may be able to only attribute it back to a nation state or perhaps back to an organization within that nation state.
