What is HedgeDoc?
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixes seven advisories, then gets pulled for a PostgreSQL migration bug
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixed seven security advisories, including an impersonation attack when two auth providers return the same profile id, a timing leak that revealed registered emails, and unescaped iframes in slides. It was pulled within minutes because a profile provider migration failed on PostgreSQL, and 1.12.2 replaces it. The release also lets OAuth2 and OIDC providers supply profile photos and updates mermaid to 11.17.
What is HelloID?
HelloID's November release lets rule-mining results leave the console as Excel files.
HelloID's 2026.10 and 2026.11 cycles are mostly fixes, but November adds one change admins will use: rule mining reports can be exported to Excel, one file per target system, with a summary and a per-condition view of shared entitlements and exceptions. The Product Ownership API endpoints are gone, legacy delegated form automation tasks are being retired, and business-rule previews now refresh manually.

HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixes seven advisories, then gets pulled for a PostgreSQL migration bug
◆ Current state
HedgeDoc 1.12.1 fixed seven security advisories, including an impersonation attack when two auth providers return the same profile id, a timing leak that revealed registered emails, and unescaped iframes in slides. It was pulled within minutes because a profile provider migration failed on PostgreSQL, and 1.12.2 replaces it. The release also lets OAuth2 and OIDC providers supply profile photos and updates mermaid to 11.17.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.x line remains driven by security response, with advisory batches arriving every one to three months. This release adds a schema migration, and the immediate PostgreSQL breakage shows the risk of mixing data changes into security patches. Small auth and rendering features keep arriving alongside the fixes.
◆ Prediction
More advisory batches on the 1.12.x line are likely, given the pattern; the entries do not show when the next major line will replace 1.x.
HelloID
5.0COLLAB
HelloID's November release lets rule-mining results leave the console as Excel files.
◆ Current state
HelloID's 2026.10 and 2026.11 cycles are mostly fixes, but November adds one change admins will use: rule mining reports can be exported to Excel, one file per target system, with a summary and a per-condition view of shared entitlements and exceptions. The Product Ownership API endpoints are gone, legacy delegated form automation tasks are being retired, and business-rule previews now refresh manually.
◆ Where it's heading
The provisioning side is building out rule mining as a working tool for designing business rules, while Service Automation sheds legacy APIs and task types. The pattern is consolidation: fewer old surfaces, more ways to act on access data outside the admin UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect further rule-mining work and the Legacy Delegated Form Automation Tasks end-of-life to land with a removal date in an upcoming release.
