Mautic vs AcyMailing: at a glance
What is Mautic?
Mautic patches remote code execution in campaign import across three supported branches.
Mautic, the open-source marketing automation platform, released 7.2.2, 6.0.10 and 5.2.12 on 26 October as security releases, including remote code execution through campaign import and a Twig sandbox escape in theme templates. September's 7.2.1 was a bug sweep after the 7.2.0 feature release that added transactional emails, A/B testing for segment emails and a Marketplace API.
What is AcyMailing?
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.

Mautic
5.0MKT AUTO
Mautic patches remote code execution in campaign import across three supported branches.
◆ Current state
Mautic, the open-source marketing automation platform, released 7.2.2, 6.0.10 and 5.2.12 on 26 October as security releases, including remote code execution through campaign import and a Twig sandbox escape in theme templates. September's 7.2.1 was a bug sweep after the 7.2.0 feature release that added transactional emails, A/B testing for segment emails and a Marketplace API.
◆ Where it's heading
The project keeps three branches (5.x, 6.x, 7.x) under coordinated security maintenance, with fixes landing on all of them the same day. Feature work comes in larger minor releases, followed by point releases that fix campaigns, forms and the builder.
◆ Prediction
Expect 7.3 release candidates next, given 7.2.0 followed a two-RC pattern, with 5.x and 6.x continuing to receive security-only releases.
AcyMailing
2.5MKT AUTO
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
◆ Current state
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 11.0 security rework in July, AcyMailing's releases alternate between privacy features and fixes for flaws in how subscriber actions are authorized. 11.1.2 shows the 11.0 rework left gaps in the subscription paths, now patched with ownership checks and security tokens.
◆ Prediction
A security advisory with full details is promised once users have had time to update, and further 11.1.x patches are likely as those details invite scrutiny of related code paths.
