Malcolm v26.05.1 is out?!? What, already? Déjà vu? We bumped up to the timetable on this release as a critical vulnerability found in NGINX made it expedient for us to do so.
Malcolm v26.05.1 focuses heavily on security updates, most notably upgrading OpenResty to address a critical NGINX remote code execution heap buffer overflow vulnerability. It also adds new Suricata OT detections for D-Link HNAP abuse, improves alerting webhook support, introduces the File Tree dashboard, and includes Suricata parsing/mapping fixes and documentation updates. Several other components received version bumps as well.
If you are upgrading from an existing Malcolm installation, run ./scripts/status for Malcolm to migrate some settings prior to running ./scripts/configure, ./scripts/start, or other Malcolm control scripts.

- ✨ Features and enhancements
- ✅ Component version updates
- 🐛 Bug fixes
- Reference Counting (Use-After-Free) Bug for PyList_SetItem in
filescan's python-statfs (#960 #962) - Added a few missing Suricata fields (
suricata.tc_progress, suricata.ts_progress, suricata.tunnel.pcap_cnt, suricata.tunnel.pkt_src) to the index mapping template - When
suricata.app_proto_ts and/or suricata.app_proto_tc reported that protocol parsing had failed (due to malformed input data), invalid data could be stored in HTTP, DNS, and/or TLS fields. This is now detected and those invalid values are dropped, and some combination of proto_parse_failed, client_stream_failed, or server_stream_failed are added to tags. - Suricata's HTTP version was not being normalized to
network.protocol_version.
- 🧹 Code and project maintenance
Malcolm is a powerful, easily deployable network 🖧 traffic analysis tool suite for network security monitoring 🕵🏻♀️.
Malcolm operates as a cluster of containers 📦, isolated sandboxes which each serve a dedicated function of the system. This makes Malcolm deployable with frameworks like Docker 🐋, Podman 🦭, and Kubernetes ⎈. Check out the Quick Start guide for examples on how to get up and running.
Alternatively, dedicated official ISO installer images 💿 for Malcolm and Hedgehog Linux 🦔 can be downloaded from Malcolm's releases page on GitHub. Due to limits on individual files in GitHub releases, these ISO files have been split 🪓 into 2GB chunks and can be reassembled with scripts provided for both Bash 🐧 (release_cleaver.sh) and PowerShell 🪟 (release_cleaver.ps1). See Downloading Malcolm - Installer ISOs for instructions.
