About the codebase

A few orientation points for new contributors to MISP core (2.5):

• MISP core is a CakePHP 2 application (app/Controller, app/Model, app/View), running on PHP 8.x. The data model is captured in db_schema.json and the attribute type system in describeTypes.json.
• Background processing runs on SimpleBackgroundJobs (Supervisor + Redis) — the legacy CakeResque worker system has been removed. See the administration chapter.
• Much of MISP’s content (galaxies, objects, taxonomies, warninglists, noticelists, event/object templates) lives in companion repositories pulled in as submodules under app/files/.
• The REST API is described by an OpenAPI specification served at /api/openapi.
