AcyMailing vs Hightouch: at a glance
What is AcyMailing?
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
What is Hightouch?
Hightouch's old changelog has closed, so this feed has stopped at its May releases.
The latest entry is a notice that the changelog moved to hightouch.com/docs/changelog. The last substantive releases here are from early May: end-to-end event and audience tracing, Klaviyo and Pinterest Ads data for Data Agents, and a Health tab with alerting for AI Decisioning.

AcyMailing
2.5MKT AUTO
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
◆ Current state
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 11.0 security rework in July, AcyMailing's releases alternate between privacy features and fixes for flaws in how subscriber actions are authorized. 11.1.2 shows the 11.0 rework left gaps in the subscription paths, now patched with ownership checks and security tokens.
◆ Prediction
A security advisory with full details is promised once users have had time to update, and further 11.1.x patches are likely as those details invite scrutiny of related code paths.
Hightouch
0.0MKT AUTO
Hightouch's old changelog has closed, so this feed has stopped at its May releases.
◆ Current state
The latest entry is a notice that the changelog moved to hightouch.com/docs/changelog. The last substantive releases here are from early May: end-to-end event and audience tracing, Klaviyo and Pinterest Ads data for Data Agents, and a Health tab with alerting for AI Decisioning.
◆ Where it's heading
Up to May, the work was moving AI Decisioning and Data Agents toward production readiness through observability and more data sources. Nothing after May is visible here because the tracked source was retired, so this trajectory is six months old.
◆ Prediction
Nothing current can be inferred until the new changelog is tracked.
