MISP, the open-source threat intelligence sharing platform, released version 2.4.119 addressing CVE-2019-19379, a vulnerability in app/Controller/TagsController.php present in version 2.4.118 that allowed users to bypass intended restrictions on tagging data. The vendor recommends all instances update to the patched version. The issue was reported by Christophe Vandeplas.
Beyond the security fix, the release includes several operational improvements: a new database diagnostics subsystem that compares the live schema against a reference and can generate corrective SQL, expanded timestamp filtering options for attribute searches, a deprecation-tracking system for legacy API endpoints, a refactor of export APIs to use restSearch internally for performance gains, and more reliable sighting synchronisation between servers. Companion misp-modules were also updated with new expansion, export, and import modules.
This is a routine maintenance and patch release for a widely used threat-intel sharing tool rather than an indication of active exploitation; organizations running MISP should apply the update to close the tagging bypass and benefit from the diagnostic and performance improvements.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it 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.
