The MISP project released version 2.5.28, a maintenance update focused primarily on security hardening and platform stability. The release patches numerous XSS vulnerabilities across the platform, including issues in the world map view, sharing group edit page, workflow execution path, and actions table element. Some of these require elevated privileges or user interaction to exploit (e.g., compromised site admin or reflected XSS requiring admin interaction), indicating limited standalone exploitability but still worth patching promptly given MISP's role hosting sensitive threat-sharing data.
Beyond security fixes, the release migrates the dashboard to Gridstack 12, refines tag filtering query logic (choosing between UNION and EXISTS query branches for performance), improves URL sanitization, and enhances the Meta Communities review process, notably vetting the CSIRT.SK MISP Community. Several functionality fixes address enrichment module error handling, proposal synchronization, galaxy cluster validation, and dependency updates including CakePHP and misp-taxonomies.
This is a routine software maintenance release rather than an active threat report. Organizations running MISP instances should apply the update to close the XSS vulnerabilities and benefit from the stability and dependency improvements, particularly given MISP's sensitive role as a threat-intelligence sharing platform.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
