What is Cronicle?

Cronicle keeps patching vulnerable dependencies, two more bumps in three days.

Cronicle 0.9.138 and 0.9.139 each bump one dependency for upstream vulnerability fixes: sanitize-html, then pixl-mail for nodemailer. That makes six dependency-driven releases in under two months. The last functional changes were privilege filtering on active jobs and HTTP status retention in August and September.

What is MISP?

MISP 2.5.50 deletes legacy discussions, templates and allowedlists as security fixes keep coming.

MISP is deep in a security-remediation cycle: 2.5.46, 2.5.47, 2.5.48 and now 2.5.50 each ship externally reported fixes, and 2.4.221 backported 57 of them to the EOL branch. 2.5.47 added PostgreSQL support and a first AI-assisted analysis integration. 2.5.50 moves Redis host settings to CLI-only and closes event-index and object-search information leaks. It also starts deleting legacy features outright.

Cronicle vs MISP: editorial side-by-side

C
Cronicle
INFRA · APIS
5.0

Cronicle keeps patching vulnerable dependencies, two more bumps in three days.

◆ Current state

Cronicle 0.9.138 and 0.9.139 each bump one dependency for upstream vulnerability fixes: sanitize-html, then pixl-mail for nodemailer. That makes six dependency-driven releases in under two months. The last functional changes were privilege filtering on active jobs and HTTP status retention in August and September.

◆ Where it's heading

The 0.9.x line is in maintenance: security-driven dependency bumps and occasional correctness fixes, released as soon as an upstream advisory lands. Nothing in the entries hints at new scheduling features.

◆ Prediction

Expect more single-dependency 0.9.x releases following upstream advisories, especially for nodemailer and other mail and HTML dependencies.

MISP 2.5.50 deletes legacy discussions, templates and allowedlists as security fixes keep coming.

◆ Current state

MISP is deep in a security-remediation cycle: 2.5.46, 2.5.47, 2.5.48 and now 2.5.50 each ship externally reported fixes, and 2.4.221 backported 57 of them to the EOL branch. 2.5.47 added PostgreSQL support and a first AI-assisted analysis integration. 2.5.50 moves Redis host settings to CLI-only and closes event-index and object-search information leaks. It also starts deleting legacy features outright.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is shifting from adding hardening patches to shrinking its attack surface. In 2.5.50, event discussions become analyst notes, legacy templates become event templates, and signature allowedlists become warninglists, with migrations and logged failures. Combined with the Overmind UI migration and the database abstraction, this looks like a deliberate cleanup of the 2.5 codebase.

◆ Prediction

Expect further legacy features to be migrated and removed in the next releases, alongside more advisories from the ongoing review. Admins with workflows on the removed discussion trigger will need to adapt.
