Gitness vs Wazuh: at a glance
What is Gitness?
Harness Open Source last shipped in August 2025, on this feed at least
The feed holds two releases of Harness Open Source, tracked here as Gitness. v3.2.0 in May 2025 added Git LFS, default reviewers through branch rules and a Revert PR option; v3.3.0 that August added tag rules, a PR dashboard upgrade with favourite repositories, and a fix for a Git LFS upload path flaw. Nothing newer appears here.
What is Wazuh?
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

◆ Current state
The feed holds two releases of Harness Open Source, tracked here as Gitness. v3.2.0 in May 2025 added Git LFS, default reviewers through branch rules and a Revert PR option; v3.3.0 that August added tag rules, a PR dashboard upgrade with favourite repositories, and a fix for a Git LFS upload path flaw. Nothing newer appears here.
◆ Where it's heading
Both releases deepen code-hosting governance: branch rules, then tag rules, plus review routing through Code Owners. That is parity work against established Git hosts rather than a new direction. With entries more than a year old, the feed shows where the project was heading in 2025, not where it is now.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not support a confident call: there is no release in this feed after v3.3.0, so it is unclear whether the project slowed or the feed stopped tracking it.
Wazuh
5.0INFRA · APIS
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
◆ Current state
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.
◆ Where it's heading
5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.
◆ Prediction
More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
