Metricool announces its free Unfiltered summit for December 2 amid competitor roundups.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Bludit and Demand Gen Report — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
Demand Gen Report covers AI moving into CDPs, seller trust and CFO-ready measurement.
Demand Gen Report's feed publishes under the B2BMX Insights name and remains trade journalism. Recent entries cover Cordial's headless CDP that serves customer data inside AI assistants, Seismic research finding B2B leaders trust human guidance over AI when they conflict, a Winterberry interview on proving marketing ROI to the CFO, and a column on retargeting. None describes a Demand Gen Report product.

Around that, the work is editor and dashboard maintenance, theme additions and a plugin hook for injecting editor toolbar buttons.
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.

Coverage keeps centring on AI's effect on B2B marketing: measurement gaps, fraud, and how brands show up in AI answers. Third-party vendor launches and survey briefs make up most of the feed.
Expect more survey-driven briefs on AI measurement and AI search visibility; the entries show no product activity from the publication itself.
