AdGuard Home vs Grype: at a glance
What is AdGuard Home?
AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.
What is Grype?
Grype keeps tightening match accuracy while making its database diff tool usable at scale
Grype's autumn releases stay on matching accuracy: AlmaLinux fix dates and Swift advisories in v0.121.0, SLES coverage and NVD SSVC data in v0.120.0, and --show-suppressed for distro-fixed matches in v0.119.0. The v0.121.1 patch fixed OpenVEX constraints for versionless purls and reworked db diff, and v0.121.2 makes db search results ordered deterministically and moves to Syft 1.57.0.

AdGuard Home
5.0INFRA · APIS
AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings
◆ Current state
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.
◆ Where it's heading
The two lines are now patched in step on security, while the 1.0 beta absorbs UI corrections and validation fixes ahead of a stable switch. The beta fixes are mostly about settings that did not save or validate correctly, which is the cleanup a new UI needs before it replaces the old one.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 1.0 betas fixing settings and validation in the new UI; the entries give no date for 1.0 stable.

Grype keeps tightening match accuracy while making its database diff tool usable at scale
◆ Current state
Grype's autumn releases stay on matching accuracy: AlmaLinux fix dates and Swift advisories in v0.121.0, SLES coverage and NVD SSVC data in v0.120.0, and --show-suppressed for distro-fixed matches in v0.119.0. The v0.121.1 patch fixed OpenVEX constraints for versionless purls and reworked db diff, and v0.121.2 makes db search results ordered deterministically and moves to Syft 1.57.0.
◆ Where it's heading
Accuracy work is spreading from the matcher into the tooling around the vulnerability database, with db diff now reporting fix-date, version-range and added/removed changes precisely. That suggests Anchore wants users to audit what changes between database builds, not just trust the scan result.
◆ Prediction
The next minor likely brings more distro-specific fix data and further db diff output options; the entries do not show a new matcher feature in progress.
