Bludit vs Neos CMS
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Bludit and Neos CMS — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Bludit vs Neos CMS: at a glance
What is Bludit?
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.
What is Neos CMS?
Neos is finishing the 9.x content-repository rebuild while 9.2 adds editorial roles.
Maintenance releases go out to two branches at once, with 9.1.7 and 9.0.14 carrying an identical set of fixes minutes apart. The substance sits in the 9.2 beta line: a workspace module with role assignments, a grace period for soft-removal garbage collection, a backend document node link in the workspace breadcrumb, and a bump of the minimum PHP version to 8.4. The recurring bug fixes cluster around the content repository, dimension space points, projections, and publishing selected changes.

Bludit
0.0MARKETING
A flat-file CMS with a long CVE history just wired its API up for MCP.
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
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.
Neos CMS
5.0MARKETING
Neos is finishing the 9.x content-repository rebuild while 9.2 adds editorial roles.
◆ Current state
Maintenance releases go out to two branches at once, with 9.1.7 and 9.0.14 carrying an identical set of fixes minutes apart. The substance sits in the 9.2 beta line: a workspace module with role assignments, a grace period for soft-removal garbage collection, a backend document node link in the workspace breadcrumb, and a bump of the minimum PHP version to 8.4. The recurring bug fixes cluster around the content repository, dimension space points, projections, and publishing selected changes.
◆ Where it's heading
The 9.x line is still settling the event-sourced content repository introduced with it, judging by how many fixes touch projections, tag inheritance across dimensions, and partial publishing. On top of that, 9.2 is adding editorial governance, with workspaces gaining explicit role assignments rather than implicit access. The PHP 8.4 requirement signals the project is willing to move its floor rather than carry compatibility.
◆ Prediction
The 9.2 betas keep adding to workspaces, roles first and now garbage-collection controls; expect the release to land with workspace administration as its headline rather than any change to the editing interface.
