May 6, 2020

MISP 2.4.125 released

A new version of MISP (2.4.125) has been released. This version includes various improvements including a major refactoring of the feed system, the addition of OTP, a new inbox system to allow for self-registration, sightings in the timeline visualisation and many more improvements.

new inbox system and self-registration feature

If you operate a large community such as an ISAC, the creation of new users can be a tedious task. The new self-registration feature allows organisations to receive and review registration before creating the real user in MISP.

  • if the feature is enabled, users can unauthenticated send a registration request to MISP
    • request includes information on desired org and some privileges (sync / org admin / publisher)
  • requests land in the inbox, admins can inspect the registration requests
    • they can accept/discard them individually or en masse
    • users will be notified of their credentials automatically
    • quick user creation if the user asks for an org that doesn’t exist yet

E-mail based OTP

To add a second layer of security, OTP has been made available thanks to the contribution of @Golbark. If you would like to use this feature, please enable it via your security settings. Users will receive tokens via e-mail that they need to provide each time they authenticate and start a new session with MISP.

Feeds index refactoring and new features

  • added the ability to select an orgc ID for CSV/freetext feeds

    • all events created from this feed will carry the selected orgc_id
  • Refactored the index fully

    • using the factories
    • better warnings against the dangerous new feed each pull setting
    • event index search added
    • several settings cleaned up / made more clear
  • auto reload of default feed configuration disabled, fixes #2542, fixes #5789

    • added a button / endpoint to handle that instead to allow for the deleted default feeds to stay delete

Debugging improvement

  • [database] New MySQL data source added for debugging.
    • MySQLObserver datasource added - prepends all queries with the requested controller/action and user ID for better debugging
