AcyMailing vs Kit (formerly ConvertKit): at a glance
What is AcyMailing?
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
What is Kit (formerly ConvertKit)?
Kit handed page-building to an agent, then went back to cleaning up the subscribers list
The Kit MCP crossing from reading a creator's list to building and editing landing pages remains the defining recent release. Since then the work has been ordinary interface repair on the subscriber surface: the Subscribers page was reorganised around search and filtering, and bulk actions became a floating menu that follows the scroll instead of sitting at the top of the list. Creator Network connection requests and custom favicons round out the window.

AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
◆ Current state
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 11.0 security rework in July, AcyMailing's releases alternate between privacy features and fixes for flaws in how subscriber actions are authorized. 11.1.2 shows the 11.0 rework left gaps in the subscription paths, now patched with ownership checks and security tokens.
◆ Prediction
A security advisory with full details is promised once users have had time to update, and further 11.1.x patches are likely as those details invite scrutiny of related code paths.

Kit handed page-building to an agent, then went back to cleaning up the subscribers list
◆ Current state
The Kit MCP crossing from reading a creator's list to building and editing landing pages remains the defining recent release. Since then the work has been ordinary interface repair on the subscriber surface: the Subscribers page was reorganised around search and filtering, and bulk actions became a floating menu that follows the scroll instead of sitting at the top of the list. Creator Network connection requests and custom favicons round out the window.
◆ Where it's heading
The Kit MCP is the axis, and it has already made its jump — from read-and-analyze in May to producing the published artifact in July. What follows is consolidation: the manual surfaces are being tidied so the things an agent can do and the things a creator does by hand sit on comparable footing. Nothing in this window extends the MCP itself, which makes the current period a pause rather than a redirection.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to extend to more of the artifacts Kit publishes now that landing pages have proven the pattern. The subscriber-page work reads as a finished cleanup rather than the start of a larger rebuild.
