AcyMailing vs Sulu: at a glance
What is AcyMailing?
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
What is Sulu?
Sulu opens its 3.1 line while 3.0 and 2.6 keep shipping in lockstep.
Sulu is a Symfony-based CMS released as matched 3.0.x and 2.6.x patches. The October 1 pair added a request log admin view and a guided forced two-factor setup, and the October 29 pair let editors copy content to several locales at once. The same day, 3.1.0-alpha1 opened the next line with route field actions, a media download button and product-family attributes.

AcyMailing
2.5MKT AUTO
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
◆ Current state
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 11.0 security rework in July, AcyMailing's releases alternate between privacy features and fixes for flaws in how subscriber actions are authorized. 11.1.2 shows the 11.0 rework left gaps in the subscription paths, now patched with ownership checks and security tokens.
◆ Prediction
A security advisory with full details is promised once users have had time to update, and further 11.1.x patches are likely as those details invite scrutiny of related code paths.
Sulu
5.0MKT AUTO
Sulu opens its 3.1 line while 3.0 and 2.6 keep shipping in lockstep.
◆ Current state
Sulu is a Symfony-based CMS released as matched 3.0.x and 2.6.x patches. The October 1 pair added a request log admin view and a guided forced two-factor setup, and the October 29 pair let editors copy content to several locales at once. The same day, 3.1.0-alpha1 opened the next line with route field actions, a media download button and product-family attributes.
◆ Where it's heading
Sulu is starting a feature line while keeping two maintenance lines in sync, with security and admin hardening flowing into both. Product attributes in 3.1 point toward commerce-adjacent content modelling.
◆ Prediction
Further 3.1 alphas and betas are likely before year end, with 3.0 and 2.6 patches continuing in pairs.
