Full Changelog: 6.3.0...6.3.1

Version 6.3.0

Dear community, we're excited to announce the launch of OpenCTI 6.3! 🥳

This released has been focused on solving well known pains 🎯 :

• providing more control & clarity to admins related to the ingestion process
• improve application usability by making it easier to ingest
• manipulate data and initiating work toward vulnerability management.

Clarity & control over the ingestion process is a must. Hence the introduction of our feature Integrated feeds Ingestion 🧠*.* More and more of you are ingesting data via “integrated” feeds (TAXII, RSS, CSV), and we've worked to give you greater visibility over the data ingestion flow by representing these feeds in the form of a dedicated connector and by allocating dedicated RabbitMQ queues per ingestion configurations in place of common queues (see our depreciation announcements).

Thanks to this enhancement, you'll be able to identify bottlenecks more quickly and gain real-time insights into your data ingestion flow. 💡

Following up on this pain of providing more control to admins over the ingestion, we have introduced a new capability: bypass custom mandatory fields.

The problem is that your connectors providing you data do no always have a a specific field that you want your analyst to provide, which results in failing the creation of entity. ❌ As a result, thanks to this new capability, you will be able to enforce this custom mandatory attribute only for specific groups of users (your analysts), while allowing others (your connectors) to be able to create data without a specific field. 🔥

As mentioned in introduction, we focused on usability. This is why we introduced a new feature: bulk creation 🥇

1. Bulk Creation of Entities: For entities that only require a single field, you can now copy and paste a list directly into the platform. This allows for the instant creation of multiple entities at once, eliminating the need for repetitive, step-by-step creation processes.
2. Bulk Creation of Relations: In addition, we’ve added the ability to create relationships in bulk, even for entities that don’t yet exist in the platform. This powerful feature, adapted from our Analyst Workbench’s "add context" functionality, streamlines the process of building connections between entities.

Together, these features are designed to save you time and enhance your productivity, enabling you to focus on more critical tasks.

Improving app usability means better identification of the data that matters to you 💡

Every organization has unique data needs, even within different entities of the same company. To meet this, we introduce the new Custom Overview per Entity Type feature.

This allows users to customize each entity’s layout, selecting key information "blocks" to prioritize and adjust their size. It makes it easier to quickly spot and focus on critical data.

Usability also comes from having similar functionalities in similar screens across the app.

First of all, we have introduced List views for Threat Actors, Intrusion Sets, Campaigns & Malware, on the top of the existing card view 🪪. This will tremendously help the management of these entities without the need to go in data/entities to manage them.

Massive operations have also been added to all Arsenal entities (Malware, Channels, Tools, Vulnerability), Narratives and Attack Patterns! In this way, the consistency of operations across the application is greatly enhanced.

Last but not least, you will notice one last update that has been heavily worked in order to improve our application usability: New data tables 🎉

When upgrading to our new version, you’ll notice that data table look different: we have upgraded them. As a result, you’ll notice that:

• the table will introduce proper pagination (size of each page can be defined) in order to improve loading.
• another long awaited improvement is the ability to resize each columns in order to view long names or values. This would make the usability of our app way better. 🚀
• Additionally, when clicking on one of the columns title, you’ll enable a quick filter: efficiency is key when dealing with loads of data. ❤️‍🩹
• Behind the scenes, this new technology reduce our technical debt and enable future use cases that we can’t wait to develop!

As some of you may be aware, we would like to make easier the vulnerability management process in OpenCTI.

The first step to achieve this goal was to extend our Vulnerability model to support EPSS and CISA KEV attributes. Support of these two information were highly requested by the community🔥. Regarding EPSS, an enrichment connector to fill the data has been created too, see below.

Having these fields was not enough, we also added the ability to use them (like other vulnerability fields) in playbook components to help you build your own vulnerability decision tree 🪄.

While files and workbenches are essential, they can contribute to performance issues over time, since documents are piling up in the platform. ❌

Retention Rules for Files and Workbenches: We’ve added configurable retention rules, which are not set by default but can be easily customized. For example, you can implement a one-year policy to automatically delete any file or workbench created over a year ago. This helps prevent outdated data from accumulating and improves overall platform performance. 💯

Administrators have also been heard with an additional feature, or rather a UX improvement. To ease management of dashboard we have also introduce a new tab in the dashboard menu, to be able to view only the public dashboards as list without needing to enter in each dashboard to view the corresponding dashboards.

In terms of integrations, lots of effort has been put to deliver new connectors & improvements of existing connectors.

We already announced it on slack, but during this release, we delivered a new Splunk app 🔥, aiming to:

• seamlessly ingest indicators through an OpenCTI live stream.
• Instantly trigger actions in response to alerts and investigate them directly within OpenCTI.

With the OpenCTI Add-on for Splunk, you can leverage comprehensive threat information, improving your ability to detect and respond to security incidents more effectively. More info can be found on : https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/7485.

To provide more support to our community, we completely refactored the Qradar connector to become an official Filigran support connector. This means that we will be able to provide support on this connector if a bug arise. The refactor has also fixed some known bugs, which are listed in the below list of issues.

Being open source also means ensuring that everybody has the capacity to contribute to our codebase. However, in the past, our readmes & guidelines to contribute in our connector repository were not up to date. We’ve made some effort to update it so that all the documentation is up to date, allowing everybody to bring their own contribution more easily 💪!

As mentioned earlier, we have worked towards helping analysts to perform vulnerability management with OpenCTI. To cater this need, we built an enrichment connector to provide values for EPSS 🤘This connector integrates with the organisation “FIRST” API, aiming to retrieve EPSS values about a specific vulnerability. This enrichment connector is of course playbook compatible 🚀

Some connectors have also been reworked (namely Sekoia, Crowdstrike, Mandiant, AlienVault, Recorded Future, CISA KEV) to support our new scheduling and auto-pausing feature that will pause your connector when its queue gets full.
You’ll see in these connectors new variables "duration_period" & "queue_threshold" that you need to define to enable these features. More details can be found in the respective connector pages.

We also improved the Mandiant connector by providing an option to import aliases of malwares & improve campaigns import. Campaigns import improvement provide more details regarding TTPs (labels, relation with intrusion sets, start & stop time & addition of description). In essence, we’ve made sure that we import as much data as we can.

To list them all, here are all the new connectors delivered in the milestone: Jira, Infloblox, Cisco SMA, Group IB, Cofense. The detailed list of connectors & improvement is available here: ****https://github.com/OpenCTI-Platform/connectors/releases?page=1
