What is Apideck?

Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.

Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.

What is Wazuh?

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.

◆ Current state

Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.

◆ Where it's heading

After a summer of new European accounting and HRIS connectors, the newest entry is maintenance driven by a vendor's auth change. Apideck now handles migrations inside the catalog by marking legacy connectors with a target.

◆ Prediction

The entries show a six-week gap before this one, so the cadence of new connectors is unclear; expect more migrations as vendors retire password-based access.

5.0

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

◆ Current state

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

◆ Where it's heading

5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.

◆ Prediction

More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
