What is SuperTokens?

SuperTokens patches seven auth advisories and makes SAML IdP-initiated login opt-in by allow-list.

SuperTokens is a self-hostable auth backend that spent the v12 cycle hardening its security surface and extending multi-tenancy. The v12.3.0 canary in September added an append-only activity log for user lifecycle events. v12.0.11 is a security release: SAML replay protection and single-assertion binding, an ACS URL allow-list now required for IdP-initiated logins, tenant-scoped WebAuthn sign-in, a session/unlink race fix and dashboard session expiry checks, with additive schema migrations.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

SuperTokens patches seven auth advisories and makes SAML IdP-initiated login opt-in by allow-list.

◆ Current state

SuperTokens is a self-hostable auth backend that spent the v12 cycle hardening its security surface and extending multi-tenancy. The v12.3.0 canary in September added an append-only activity log for user lifecycle events. v12.0.11 is a security release: SAML replay protection and single-assertion binding, an ACS URL allow-list now required for IdP-initiated logins, tenant-scoped WebAuthn sign-in, a session/unlink race fix and dashboard session expiry checks, with additive schema migrations.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks run in parallel: a stable 12.0 line that keeps closing authentication edge cases, much of it in SAML, and a 12.3 canary that adds stateful features such as the activity log. The new ACS allow-list requirement shows the project is willing to refuse insecure configurations by default rather than leave them to documentation.

◆ Prediction

Expect further 12.0.x security patches and, separately, the 12.3 activity log moving toward a stable release; the entries don't show when it will get a read API.

6.3

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

◆ Current state

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

◆ Where it's heading

The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
