Exchange Reporter Plus is in security-and-compatibility mode, chasing Microsoft's cmdlet deprecations and closing XSS reports.
Exchange Reporter Plus is running a maintenance-first release cycle dominated by two forces: a steady stream of bug-bounty-reported security fixes (stored XSS, path traversal, ReDoS) and the need to keep pace with Microsoft's Exchange Online changes. Feature work is sparse and mostly plumbing — cmdlet migrations, JRE updates, and a shift away from dedicated service accounts toward Entra app registration.

Feedly's cyber-threat-intelligence engine grows through steady coverage and enrichment additions.
Feedly has settled firmly into cyber and market threat intelligence, shipping a biweekly changelog aimed at CTI and analyst teams. Recent releases add analyst-usable output (Suricata detection rules pulled straight from Insights Cards), broader vulnerability and exploit coverage (Oracle and Atlassian advisories, exploit-type tracking), and third-party enrichment (GreyNoise, VirusTotal, Analyst1), alongside a smarter Insider Threats AI model and an Ask AI Research Playground for evaluators.
Exchange Reporter Plus is running a maintenance-first release cycle dominated by two forces: a steady stream of bug-bounty-reported security fixes (stored XSS, path traversal, ReDoS) and the need to keep pace with Microsoft's Exchange Online changes. Feature work is sparse and mostly plumbing — cmdlet migrations, JRE updates, and a shift away from dedicated service accounts toward Entra app registration.
The product's near-term direction is defined less by new capability than by keeping reporting intact as Microsoft deprecates the cmdlets it depends on (Get-Message, Search-AdminAuditLog) and tightens tenant access. The one clearly forward-looking thread is authentication modernization — moving Exchange Online configuration to Entra app registration and removing the MFA-disable requirement — which improves security posture without expanding the reporting surface.
Expect the security-fix cadence to continue and further Microsoft-driven cmdlet and auth migrations as Exchange Online evolves, with feature additions remaining incremental.

The arc is deepening the intelligence graph and making its output directly operational: more sources and advisories feeding the model, richer IoC context via enrichment integrations, and AI features (Ask AI, Cyberattack Agent, insider-threat models) that sit on top of that data. The feed also carries near-duplicate entries for the same release, a crawl artifact rather than shipping cadence.
Expect continued coverage expansion (more advisory sources, enrichment partners) and incremental AI-research tooling on the biweekly cadence, with no single directional pivot signaled in these entries.
