MISP vs Wazuh: at a glance
What is MISP?
MISP 2.5.51 is a quiet dependency cleanup after a long security run.
MISP 2.5.51 upgrades the otphp one-time-password library and removes the unused CakePHP 2 DebugKit from the codebase and Docker images, with no user-facing changes. It follows four releases that each shipped externally reported security fixes, and 2.5.47's PostgreSQL support and first AI-assisted analysis integration.
What is Wazuh?
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.
MISP vs Wazuh: editorial side-by-side
MISP
2.5INFRA · APIS
MISP 2.5.51 is a quiet dependency cleanup after a long security run.
◆ Current state
MISP 2.5.51 upgrades the otphp one-time-password library and removes the unused CakePHP 2 DebugKit from the codebase and Docker images, with no user-facing changes. It follows four releases that each shipped externally reported security fixes, and 2.5.47's PostgreSQL support and first AI-assisted analysis integration.
◆ Where it's heading
After the September and October security-remediation releases, MISP is trimming dependencies while the Overmind UI migration continues. Removing legacy components fits the same direction as 2.5.50's deletion of old features.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next feature release to continue Overmind migration and legacy removal; the entries do not show when more security fixes will land.
Wazuh
5.0INFRA · APIS
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
◆ Current state
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.
◆ Where it's heading
5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.
◆ Prediction
More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
