CommaFeed vs Wiki.js
A side-by-side editorial comparison of CommaFeed and Wiki.js — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Shared themes:self-hosted
CommaFeed vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is CommaFeed?
CommaFeed is patching its way through the attack surface a self-hosted reader inherits
CommaFeed's 7.x line has become a sustained security pass. The newest patch closes Host header injection on the password recovery endpoint and adds a commafeed.password-recovery-public-base-url setting so the email base URL is configured rather than taken from the request. Behind it: local address blocking made secure by default alongside Google Reader API support in 7.3.0, javascript: URLs filtered at parse time in 7.2.1, and SSRF limits on the image proxy in 7.2.0.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 2.x is in security-maintenance mode, and the feed has been quiet since May
Six patch releases on the 2.5 line, most of them fixes. The substantive ones are security: a permissions flaw allowing user assignment to elevated groups, open redirect validation on the login redirect cookie, authentication for GraphQL subscription WebSocket connections, prototype pollution in Rocket.Chat auth, and secure cookie flags on HTTPS sites. Two small features appear — OIDC and OAuth2 avatar claim mapping, and MySQL socket path connections.

◆ Current state
CommaFeed's 7.x line has become a sustained security pass. The newest patch closes Host header injection on the password recovery endpoint and adds a commafeed.password-recovery-public-base-url setting so the email base URL is configured rather than taken from the request. Behind it: local address blocking made secure by default alongside Google Reader API support in 7.3.0, javascript: URLs filtered at parse time in 7.2.1, and SSRF limits on the image proxy in 7.2.0.
◆ Where it's heading
Every release in this stretch closes a path where content or a request from outside the instance was trusted too far - feed URLs reaching internal addresses, proxied images, javascript: links, and now a header shaping an outbound email. That is the checklist of a project being run as a multi-user hosted service rather than a single-user tool, and it follows directly from the 7.0.0 decision to sandbox filter expressions. Feature work continues in parallel but is clearly the smaller half.
◆ Prediction
The remaining untrusted-input surfaces - OPML import and the feed fetcher's redirect handling - are the likely next targets. The pattern of shipping each fix as its own patch release should continue rather than batching them.

Wiki.js 2.x is in security-maintenance mode, and the feed has been quiet since May
◆ Current state
Six patch releases on the 2.5 line, most of them fixes. The substantive ones are security: a permissions flaw allowing user assignment to elevated groups, open redirect validation on the login redirect cookie, authentication for GraphQL subscription WebSocket connections, prototype pollution in Rocket.Chat auth, and secure cookie flags on HTTPS sites. Two small features appear — OIDC and OAuth2 avatar claim mapping, and MySQL socket path connections.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a mature 2.x line receiving externally reported vulnerability fixes and community contributions rather than product direction. Several fixes credit outside researchers and contributors, which is what maintenance looks like when the maintainer's attention is elsewhere. Release intervals stretched from days in January to nothing since early May.
◆ Prediction
More 2.5.x patches driven by reported vulnerabilities are the likely continuation. Nothing in this window indicates when feature work resumes.
