What is Prowler?

Prowler 5.49 asks a new question after each scan: which of your servers run an image under attack?

Prowler ships a minor release every one to two weeks. 5.48 added Realtime for AWS, which checks resources as CloudTrail events arrive and can alert, open a Terraform pull request or fix the resource. 5.49 adds emerging threat signatures: a vulnerability described as data, matched against the machine images of every compute instance on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with Amazon Inspector clearing hosts patched in place. Prowler Cloud supplies a threat catalog and turns each threat into an Exploitability issue per account.

What is YunoHost?

YunoHost 13.0.10 continues the 13.0 point releases, with notes left to Debian.

YunoHost is a self-hosting distribution built on Debian. Its feed lists point releases on two lines, 12.1.x and 13.0.x; 13.0.10 arrived on November 13, about three weeks after 13.0.9. Every entry says only to refer to the Debian changelog, so the feed carries no detail on what changed.

Prowler 5.49 asks a new question after each scan: which of your servers run an image under attack?

◆ Current state

Prowler ships a minor release every one to two weeks. 5.48 added Realtime for AWS, which checks resources as CloudTrail events arrive and can alert, open a Terraform pull request or fix the resource. 5.49 adds emerging threat signatures: a vulnerability described as data, matched against the machine images of every compute instance on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with Amazon Inspector clearing hosts patched in place. Prowler Cloud supplies a threat catalog and turns each threat into an Exploitability issue per account.

◆ Where it's heading

Prowler is moving from configuration checks toward telling teams what is actually exploitable now: Realtime cut the wait for detection, and threat signatures cut the wait for a new check when a vulnerability lands. The free engine keeps the mechanism, while the maintained catalog and issue triage sit in Prowler Cloud.

◆ Prediction

Expect the threat catalog to grow and exploitability issues to reach more providers or link into Realtime alerts in the next releases.

5.0

YunoHost 13.0.10 continues the 13.0 point releases, with notes left to Debian.

◆ Current state

YunoHost is a self-hosting distribution built on Debian. Its feed lists point releases on two lines, 12.1.x and 13.0.x; 13.0.10 arrived on November 13, about three weeks after 13.0.9. Every entry says only to refer to the Debian changelog, so the feed carries no detail on what changed.

◆ Where it's heading

The 13.0 line gets a point release every few weeks while 12.1 receives occasional hotfixes. Without notes, the feed shows cadence but not content.

◆ Prediction

Expect another 13.0 point release within a month; the entries give no sign of a 13.1 or of 12.1 ending.
