HedgeDoc vs HumHub: at a glance
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 HumHub?
HumHub 1.19 has left beta, and its first patches are already carrying security fixes.
The 1.19 cycle is out of beta. beta.3 in September carried security fixes, keyboard-accessibility work and leftover Bootstrap cleanup, and the v1.19.1 entry on October 26 is a changelog update noting security fixes, enhancements and bug fixes. HumHub's GitHub releases show 1.19.0 stable on October 12 and 1.19.3 on October 27, neither of which appears in this feed.

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.

2.5COLLAB
HumHub 1.19 has left beta, and its first patches are already carrying security fixes.
◆ Current state
The 1.19 cycle is out of beta. beta.3 in September carried security fixes, keyboard-accessibility work and leftover Bootstrap cleanup, and the v1.19.1 entry on October 26 is a changelog update noting security fixes, enhancements and bug fixes. HumHub's GitHub releases show 1.19.0 stable on October 12 and 1.19.3 on October 27, neither of which appears in this feed.
◆ Where it's heading
The betas were spent making the upgrade survivable, and the post-stable patches show what that missed: the 1.19.3 changelog repairs activity types that reappeared in e-mail summaries after the update, and a cron failure that could repeat summary mail. Accessibility is the one forward-looking thread, with visible focus and corrected tab order across cards, dropdowns and search.
◆ Prediction
1.19.4 is already listed as unreleased in the project changelog, so another fix-led patch is close. 1.18.7 shipped the same day as 1.19.2, so expect security fixes to keep reaching both lines.
