+# MISP 2.4.137 released
+
+We have released 2.4.137, a security and bug fix release including a collection of fixes and improvements collected over the past month.
+
+Building tools for the security community sure has its perks - over the past week we have received two independent security test results of two separate organisations, revealing several vulnerabilities. The update to this version is therefore highly recommended.
+
+A little note on vulnerability - we always welcome organisations helping us secure MISP and our tooling in general and would hereby like to thank everyone taking part in the process!
+
+# Several vulnerabilities resolved
+
+- [CVE-2021-25324] Stored XSS via the galaxy cluster view - Discovered by Daniel Kubica of ESET, spol. s r.o.
+- [CVE-2021-25325] Stored XSS via the galaxy element index - Discovered by Daniel Kubica of ESET, spol. s r.o.
+- [CVE-2021-25323] Weak default password change request policy not requiring the entry of the current password - Discovered by Daniel Kubica of ESET, spol. s r.o.
+- [CVE-2021-3184] Reflected XSS via the set homepage button - Reported by an anonymous party
+
+# A long list of quality of life improvements
+
+- The synchronisation now compresses the data exchanged, improving the transfer rates during the exchange
+- Additional metrics and comparison tools for the sync connections
+- Better management of API key usage along with logging
+- A new tool that allows the exclusion of certain values from the correlation engine (useful to avoid having regularly observed values recurring in a large number of events generating too much noise)
+
+Along with many other fixes. A special thank you to @JakubOnderka for providing a steady stream of QoL improvements, making MISP more pleasant to use by the day!
+
+# Acknowledgement
