No, it doesn’t.

Ambiguous and Misleading is an effect or consequence of a statement. Neither indicate any intent behind the statement. In other words, a statement can be misleading despite of benevolent intention.

That’s a common connotation, sure. But it’s not part of its meaning, I frequently see the word “misleading” used without any notion of intent.
