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.

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.

KrakenD's community edition is shipping only dependency bumps.

◆ Current state

The two tracked KrakenD releases are patch releases of the community edition. 2.13.10 in August moved to Go 1.26.7, and 2.13.11 in September bumped the gRPC and RabbitMQ client libraries.

◆ Where it's heading

The open-source gateway is in maintenance mode in this feed, kept current on Go and dependencies. Two entries are too few to say where the product is heading.

◆ Prediction

Unclear from these entries; more dependency patch releases are the only pattern visible.
