Terragrunt vs ZoneMinder: at a glance
What is Terragrunt?
Terragrunt 1.2's last candidate finishes eleven experiments and locks down state buckets.
Terragrunt v1.2.0-rc3, dated mid-October, is declared the final candidate: unless a blocker appears, v1.2.0 ships with its contents. The cycle completes eleven experiments, among them OCI, block-iteration, azure-backend and optional-hooks. Two changes need attention: base64gzip() now returns the Go 1.27 encoder's output, which can trigger resource replacements, and S3 bootstrapping no longer adds the RootAccess bucket policy statement.
What is ZoneMinder?
ZoneMinder 1.38.5 fixes 19 vulnerabilities, including authenticated remote code execution
ZoneMinder's 1.38 line is in security maintenance. 1.38.5 fixes 19 reported vulnerabilities, including authenticated OS command execution through the filter debug modal, a JPEG heap overflow and cross-monitor authorization bypasses. It replaces a default or empty auth hash secret on upgrade and refuses token logins while the public default is set. 1.38.6 followed within the hour only to fix RPM builds, since no 1.38.5 RPMs were published.

Terragrunt
5.0INFRA · APIS
Terragrunt 1.2's last candidate finishes eleven experiments and locks down state buckets.
◆ Current state
Terragrunt v1.2.0-rc3, dated mid-October, is declared the final candidate: unless a blocker appears, v1.2.0 ships with its contents. The cycle completes eleven experiments, among them OCI, block-iteration, azure-backend and optional-hooks. Two changes need attention: base64gzip() now returns the Go 1.27 encoder's output, which can trigger resource replacements, and S3 bootstrapping no longer adds the RootAccess bucket policy statement.
◆ Where it's heading
The graduation model has repeated at a larger scale: six experiments in v1.1, eleven in v1.2. The candidates ran as stabilization, with fixes concentrated in the CAS, the catalog and the Provider Cache Server. Each breaking change also ships with an escape hatch, base64gzip_compat() or enable_bucket_root_access, which shows how seriously the project treats its 1.0 guarantees.
◆ Prediction
v1.2.0 final is the next release, since rc3 says only regression or urgent fixes will land first. It has not appeared in this feed in the 18 days since rc3.
ZoneMinder
5.0INFRA · APIS
ZoneMinder 1.38.5 fixes 19 vulnerabilities, including authenticated remote code execution
◆ Current state
ZoneMinder's 1.38 line is in security maintenance. 1.38.5 fixes 19 reported vulnerabilities, including authenticated OS command execution through the filter debug modal, a JPEG heap overflow and cross-monitor authorization bypasses. It replaces a default or empty auth hash secret on upgrade and refuses token logins while the public default is set. 1.38.6 followed within the hour only to fix RPM builds, since no 1.38.5 RPMs were published.
◆ Where it's heading
Every 1.38 release since June has been mostly authorization and memory-safety work. The 1.38.0 feature set (RBAC, WebRTC, the monitor function split) is being made safe rather than extended.
◆ Prediction
Further security releases on 1.38 are likely; the entries give no sign of a 1.39 feature release.
