The MISP threat-sharing platform released version 2.4.109, primarily a feature and bugfix update that also addresses a privilege-escalation vulnerability tracked as CVE-2019-12794. The flaw allowed organisation-level admins, who already have the ability to reset passwords for users within their own organisation, to reset credentials for site-wide admins or impersonate them by reusing their API keys. Exploitation requires a specific deployment pattern where the hosting organisation assigns lower-privilege organisation admins rather than full site admins, limiting real-world exposure but still representing a design weakness in the permission model.
Beyond the security fix, the release introduces usability improvements such as encapsulating loose attributes into structured objects and enhanced ATT&CK matrix visualization with time-range and organisation-based filtering. A new restSearch API filter for date-based queries was also added, along with various permission and UI bug fixes. The MISP project advises all users to upgrade, and flags that the subsequent 2.4.110 release will involve a more disruptive database schema migration.

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.
