What is Kanboard?

Kanboard shipped three security releases in ten days, plus a PHP 8.5 move.

Kanboard is a self-hosted PHP kanban board whose releases are now almost entirely security work, and October tripled the pace. 1.2.55 blocked spoofed proxy IPs from bypassing CAPTCHA and login lockouts and enforced project authorization across several board actions; 1.2.56 moved the Docker image to PHP 8.5 to pick up two PHP CVE fixes; 1.2.57 disables PHP session upload progress against another CVE and stops API lookups from revealing that inaccessible projects exist. WebP attachments and exact-email user search are the only feature additions.

What is Ever Teams?

Ever Teams tags dozens of versions a day; most are fixes and test changes.

Ever Teams tags several releases a day. On 12 November 0.196 added a Jira Cloud integration section, timer notes and a Workspace settings page, and 0.197 added a due-date calendar, drag-to-reschedule and a Table layout for team tasks. The releases tagged around midnight on 13 November are small: a dismissable newsletter card, spelling-list and test fixes, a dependency bump, Docs export fixes, and in 0.199.0 a keyboard shortcut to assign tasks.

Kanboard vs Ever Teams: editorial side-by-side

K5.0

Kanboard shipped three security releases in ten days, plus a PHP 8.5 move.

◆ Current state

Kanboard is a self-hosted PHP kanban board whose releases are now almost entirely security work, and October tripled the pace. 1.2.55 blocked spoofed proxy IPs from bypassing CAPTCHA and login lockouts and enforced project authorization across several board actions; 1.2.56 moved the Docker image to PHP 8.5 to pick up two PHP CVE fixes; 1.2.57 disables PHP session upload progress against another CVE and stops API lookups from revealing that inaccessible projects exist. WebP attachments and exact-email user search are the only feature additions.

◆ Where it's heading

The audit that ran from LDAP escaping through API response shape is now reaching information leaks by error message: returning false instead of a 403 so the API doesn't confirm a project exists. The Docker image has become part of the security perimeter, with two of the three releases changing PHP runtime settings. Features remain small and incidental.

◆ Prediction

Expect further releases tracking upstream PHP and Alpine security fixes, since the Docker image now ships on PHP 8.5 and has needed two runtime changes in ten days.

E5.0

Ever Teams tags dozens of versions a day; most are fixes and test changes.

◆ Current state

Ever Teams tags several releases a day. On 12 November 0.196 added a Jira Cloud integration section, timer notes and a Workspace settings page, and 0.197 added a due-date calendar, drag-to-reschedule and a Table layout for team tasks. The releases tagged around midnight on 13 November are small: a dismissable newsletter card, spelling-list and test fixes, a dependency bump, Docs export fixes, and in 0.199.0 a keyboard shortcut to assign tasks.

◆ Where it's heading

The project ships through an automated release loop that tags every merged change, so version numbers say little about scope. Real features still arrive every day or two, aimed at task views, time tracking and integrations with other project tools.

◆ Prediction

Expect the version count to keep climbing quickly, with the occasional release adding a task view or integration among many fix-only tags.
