What is Countly?

Countly's two LTS lines now get the same security fixes within a week of each other.

Countly ships security patches on two LTS lines, 25.03 and 24.05. In late October 25.03.56 moved the Docker images to Node.js 24.22.1 for a Brotli CVE and brought Python 3.12.15 to the A/B testing stack; 25.03.58 tightened tokens: app-restricted tokens must state their permissions, password changes revoke a member's tokens, and single-use tokens hold under concurrent requests. 24.05.55 then brought those same fixes to the older line, including the isolated-vm sandbox for custom hook code that 25.03 adopted in August.

What is ManageEngine Log360?

Log360's September build fixes the migration to the unified console.

ManageEngine Log360 is consolidating its components into Unified Log360, with a PPM in June that lets standalone deployments migrate. Builds since then mix security fixes, including an unauthenticated collector registration bypass and an authentication bypass in August, with marketplace extensions for CrowdStrike, Okta and Bitdefender. Build 13073 in September is a set of hotfixes for migration problems: failed dashboard migrations, IAM errors after login, and notification settings not saving.

Countly
ANALYTICS
5.0

Countly's two LTS lines now get the same security fixes within a week of each other.

◆ Current state

Countly ships security patches on two LTS lines, 25.03 and 24.05. In late October 25.03.56 moved the Docker images to Node.js 24.22.1 for a Brotli CVE and brought Python 3.12.15 to the A/B testing stack; 25.03.58 tightened tokens: app-restricted tokens must state their permissions, password changes revoke a member's tokens, and single-use tokens hold under concurrent requests. 24.05.55 then brought those same fixes to the older line, including the isolated-vm sandbox for custom hook code that 25.03 adopted in August.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is about access control and supply chain, not new analytics features. Tokens, sessions and login counting are being tightened release by release, and the 24.05 line is being pulled up to the 25.03 runtime (Node.js 22 for custom code, Python 3.12 with CmdStanPy for A/B testing) instead of being left on older stacks. Feature work shows up only in small items such as explicitly named databases and a licence payment-overdue banner.

◆ Prediction

Expect more paired patches as token and session hardening continues on both lines. The entries don't say how long 24.05 will keep receiving backports.

M0.0

Log360's September build fixes the migration to the unified console.

◆ Current state

ManageEngine Log360 is consolidating its components into Unified Log360, with a PPM in June that lets standalone deployments migrate. Builds since then mix security fixes, including an unauthenticated collector registration bypass and an authentication bypass in August, with marketplace extensions for CrowdStrike, Okta and Bitdefender. Build 13073 in September is a set of hotfixes for migration problems: failed dashboard migrations, IAM errors after login, and notification settings not saving.

◆ Where it's heading

The migration to the unified architecture is generating its own stream of fixes, while security patches continue at a monthly pace. Integrations are moving into marketplace extensions rather than core builds.

◆ Prediction

More hotfix builds for the unified migration are likely; no new build has appeared in the feed since mid-September.
