A flat-file CMS with a long CVE history just wired its API up for MCP.
Bludit ships every few weeks, and almost every release carries a security fix: an authentication bypass and arbitrary file upload in 3.18.4, an authenticated RCE via file upload plus .htaccess bypass in 3.20.0, a path traversal in the API files endpoint in 3.21.0, and session invalidation for disabled users in 3.22.0. Around that, the work is editor and dashboard maintenance, theme additions and a plugin hook for injecting editor toolbar buttons.
ContentStudio is bolting ad reporting and AI video generation onto a publishing tool.
The product now covers three jobs that used to be separate purchases: scheduling with multi-level approvals, ad-performance reporting for Meta and Google, and AI media generation inside AI Studio. The last month leans hardest on generation, adding a newer video model, a talking-avatar tool, and a consolidated Brand Profile that feeds both. The Inbox API is the first sign these surfaces are meant to be driven programmatically rather than only clicked.

Two threads run in parallel. One is a sustained security cleanup, largely driven by external reports and handled release by release. The other is a quiet repositioning of the API: 3.22.0 improved it specifically to support MCP, which points a file-based CMS at agent-driven authoring. The plugin hook work in 3.20.0 fits the same pattern of opening the editor to programmatic control.
Expect the MCP-facing API work to continue — the initial support arrived as API improvements rather than a documented server, which is the piece still missing.

Two expansions run in parallel. The Meta and Google ad-analytics modules landed eight days apart and share an identical shape, which reads as one template applied per network rather than two separate builds, so more networks are the cheap next step. AI Studio moves on a similar cadence, absorbing whichever third-party video model is current instead of building generation itself.
Expect another ad-analytics module on the same template for a remaining network such as LinkedIn or TikTok, and more of the dashboard exposed over the API now that the Inbox has been.
