Pimcore vs Postiz: at a glance
What is Pimcore?
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.
What is Postiz?
Postiz encrypts channel tokens and lets agents send connect links for new channels.
Postiz's November 13 release encrypts channels' access and refresh tokens in the database when enabled, with a local key or AWS KMS, and needs no migration. A new connect link endpoint and MCP tool let an app or agent give someone a one-hour link that adds their social channel to a workspace. It also fixes two access-control holes (billing routes open to plain members, and post saves across organizations), adds Amazon SES for email, and fixes 40+ provider and billing issues.

Pimcore
5.0MKT AUTO
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
◆ Current state
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2026.3 line has settled into weekly patches where security hardening and data-model fixes share each release. Access-control checks keep spreading to paths that were missed, such as WebDAV and preview endpoints.
◆ Prediction
Expect weekly 2026.3.x patches to continue with more permission checks and fixes, until a 2026.4 minor brings new features.
Postiz
2.5MKT AUTO
Postiz encrypts channel tokens and lets agents send connect links for new channels.
◆ Current state
Postiz's November 13 release encrypts channels' access and refresh tokens in the database when enabled, with a local key or AWS KMS, and needs no migration. A new connect link endpoint and MCP tool let an app or agent give someone a one-hour link that adds their social channel to a workspace. It also fixes two access-control holes (billing routes open to plain members, and post saves across organizations), adds Amazon SES for email, and fixes 40+ provider and billing issues.
◆ Where it's heading
Postiz still ships large releases about every six weeks. The last three have moved it from a scheduler toward publishing infrastructure that other software and agents can drive, with MCP access, preview comments and now connect links. This release adds the security work, encrypted tokens and tenant isolation, that larger self-hosted and multi-organization deployments need.
◆ Prediction
The next release will likely extend connect links to platforms that need API keys or instance URLs, and keep tokens out of Temporal history, which this release describes as groundwork.
