What is InvoicePlane?
InvoicePlane's 1.7.2 is a mass security remediation, still working through its release candidates.
InvoicePlane is a self-hosted PHP invoicing and quoting application. The 1.7.2 line, now at its second release candidate, is dominated by security remediation: roughly thirty researchers are credited across the beta and RC notes for responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities, with severity, CVSS and GHSA advisories held back until the final release. The RC also warns that installations running custom invoice and quote templates must take manual steps before upgrading.
What is Zluri?
Zluri is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.
Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.

InvoicePlane
5.0FINANCE
InvoicePlane's 1.7.2 is a mass security remediation, still working through its release candidates.
◆ Current state
InvoicePlane is a self-hosted PHP invoicing and quoting application. The 1.7.2 line, now at its second release candidate, is dominated by security remediation: roughly thirty researchers are credited across the beta and RC notes for responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities, with severity, CVSS and GHSA advisories held back until the final release. The RC also warns that installations running custom invoice and quote templates must take manual steps before upgrading.
◆ Where it's heading
The project has spent this cycle absorbing an unusually large volume of external vulnerability reports while simultaneously modernising the platform — PHP 8.2 compatibility arrived on the 1.7.0 branch, and Stripe and PayPal were reintroduced at 1.7.2 beta 1 after having been absent. The decision to withhold advisory details until 1.7.2 goes final is a deliberate disclosure posture, meaning the true scope of what these releases fix is not yet public. Release notes here are dominated by hashes and contributor credits rather than change detail.
◆ Prediction
The final 1.7.2 release and the simultaneous publication of the security advisories are the clear next step, given RC 2 is described as working toward it. Whether further RCs intervene depends on what testing surfaces.
Zluri
7.5FINANCE
Zluri is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.
◆ Current state
Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from SaaS discovery and spend toward the IGA territory of policy, certification, and remediation. Each release either adds a governance control or makes the underlying identity data more trustworthy. The Workflows v2 canvas, SoD detection and source prioritization all support automated, auditable access decisions.
◆ Prediction
SoD and Workflows v2 are likely to move from early access and beta to general availability. Expect deeper links between them, such as SoD violations triggering canvas playbooks directly.
