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 GitHub?

GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.

GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.

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.

GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.

◆ Current state

GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.

◆ Where it's heading

Two deadlines now land on December 8: Dependabot alerts pausing on year-idle repositories and the end of ARM32 job execution on hosted runners. GitHub is pruning what it supports while putting its AI security features behind APIs that organizations can script.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Scan to move from public preview toward general availability with more organization-level controls, and more retirement notices timed around December 8.
