What is MISP?

MISP 2.5.51 is a quiet dependency cleanup after a long security run.

MISP 2.5.51 upgrades the otphp one-time-password library and removes the unused CakePHP 2 DebugKit from the codebase and Docker images, with no user-facing changes. It follows four releases that each shipped externally reported security fixes, and 2.5.47's PostgreSQL support and first AI-assisted analysis integration.

What is CircleCI?

CircleCI's SSH reruns now open from the browser, through one trusted address.

CircleCI is tidying both ends of the pipeline before December. Config warnings become hard failures on December 14, and the v1 project APIs lose their branches field on December 7 after brownouts on November 17 and December 1. On November 12 Rerun job with SSH moved to a single host, ssh.circleci.com, on ports 22 or 443 with fixed IPs, plus a terminal that opens from the job page. Functions, versioned job-setup programs agents can configure, entered beta on November 4.

MISP vs CircleCI: editorial side-by-side

2.5

MISP 2.5.51 is a quiet dependency cleanup after a long security run.

◆ Current state

MISP 2.5.51 upgrades the otphp one-time-password library and removes the unused CakePHP 2 DebugKit from the codebase and Docker images, with no user-facing changes. It follows four releases that each shipped externally reported security fixes, and 2.5.47's PostgreSQL support and first AI-assisted analysis integration.

◆ Where it's heading

After the September and October security-remediation releases, MISP is trimming dependencies while the Overmind UI migration continues. Removing legacy components fits the same direction as 2.5.50's deletion of old features.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next feature release to continue Overmind migration and legacy removal; the entries do not show when more security fixes will land.

6.3

CircleCI's SSH reruns now open from the browser, through one trusted address.

◆ Current state

CircleCI is tidying both ends of the pipeline before December. Config warnings become hard failures on December 14, and the v1 project APIs lose their branches field on December 7 after brownouts on November 17 and December 1. On November 12 Rerun job with SSH moved to a single host, ssh.circleci.com, on ports 22 or 443 with fixed IPs, plus a terminal that opens from the job page. Functions, versioned job-setup programs agents can configure, entered beta on November 4.

◆ Where it's heading

CircleCI is closing old paths (lenient config, v1 API fields, old Xcode images) while making failures easier to reach: job-linked commit statuses last week, browser SSH this week. The newer Functions beta and API v3 are where users are being steered.

◆ Prediction

Expect more debug tools on the job page and further v1 API removals pointing users to v3 before year end.
