MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) released version 2.4.132, addressing several bug fixes and one notable security issue tracked as CVE-2020-25766. The flaw stemmed from a login form GET/POST exchange bug combined with session/pagination handling: under resource exhaustion conditions, a user with a valid session could be shown the login page instead of the expected view, and a subsequent form submission (intended as an event deletion action) could be inadvertently triggered against the event index instead of the intended target.
The MISP team stated this scenario is extremely rare in practice and only a handful of such unintended deletions were identified on their most heavily used community instances. A follow-up release (2.4.133) is planned to include a diagnostic tool to identify deletions that occurred during the window the bug was active, along with recovery functionality. The release also includes unrelated fixes such as a bootstrap-datepicker update, tag filter corrections, and a new sightings anonymisation setting.

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.
