Introducing Standalone Functionality to MISP Modules: A New Era of Flexibility and Efficiency
In the ever-evolving landscape of information security, the need for adaptable and efficient tools has never been greater. The MISP project, known for facilitating the sharing of structured threat information, has taken a significant leap forward. We’re excited to announce a pivotal enhancement to the misp-modules, a collection of modules for MISP, extending their functionality to operate not only as an integral part of MISP but also as a standalone web application.
We are pleased to announce the immediate release of MISP 2.4.186, which includes two major new feature called “Analyst Data” and “Collections” along with an extension to the MISP standard format.
Historically, teams shared indicators of compromise (IOCs) via email in documents that were often difficult to analyze and challenging to automate for processing.
We are happy to announce the immediate availability of MISP 2.4.185. This is mainly a bug fix release resolving several issues as well as tightening the security posture of the org image handling.
MISP 2.4.184 released with performance improvements, security and bugs fixes.
Improvements
Speed up improvements in ssdeep correlation and many other parts of MISP. Thanks to Jakub Onderka for the work on this.
[objects] restsearch first/last seen filters added.
[event:publication] Added new setting to block event publication if the publishing user is the creator.
[events:export] Make setting MISP.disable_cached_exports enabled by default. Since the /events/export has been marked deprecated for a years, we are starting the process to phase it out by first disabling the endpoint by default. The MISP ReST search API is the API to be used in the future if you still have very old scripts relying on export. We recommend to start making plans to rework those scripts.
[organisation:orgMerge] Added missing models for organisation handover
Security fixes
A series of security fixes were done in this release, the vulnerabilities are accessible to authenticated users, especially those with specific privileges like Org admin. We urge users to update to this version especially if you have different organisations having access to your instances.
MISP 2.4.183 released with a new ECS log feature, improvements and bugs fixed.
MISP now supports Elastic Common Schema (ECS) security logging. A new option has been added Security.ecs_log to enable this new functionality. A new Security.alert_on_suspicious_logins to security audit has been added.
The sync configuration in MISP now supports sharing group blueprints for a simple creation of filter rules based on dynamically updated organisation lists.
Major improvement to STIX import handling and especially the misp-stix library such as Parsing PE binary extensions within File observable objects and many more improvements/fixes.
API add tag functions updated to also work with uuids, rather than just local IDs.
[event:view] Added option to mass local cluster tag.
Many bugs fixed and minor improvements. Feel free to read the detailed changelog
MISP 2.4.179 released with a host of improvements a security fix and some new tooling.
First baby steps taken towards LLM integration
We currently included our first attempt at an LLM integration for report summarisation and extraction. The development is an outcome of our work with @aaronkaplan during hack.lu 2024 and relies on stochasticCTIExtractor for the extraction and interfacing with LLMs.
