What is n8n?

n8n fixes executions being redacted when they used global credentials, on three lines.

n8n released 3.2.0 and 2.48.0 on November 10 with an Opus 5.5 default for the AI builder and a hard stop for agent runs when Gateway credits run out. November 13 brought six more patch tags across 3.2, 2.48, 2.47 and 1.123: executions that used global credentials were wrongly redacted, Redis cluster cache keys split across slots, and agents could not turn off prompt caching for endpoints that reject it.

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.

6.3

n8n fixes executions being redacted when they used global credentials, on three lines.

◆ Current state

n8n released 3.2.0 and 2.48.0 on November 10 with an Opus 5.5 default for the AI builder and a hard stop for agent runs when Gateway credits run out. November 13 brought six more patch tags across 3.2, 2.48, 2.47 and 1.123: executions that used global credentials were wrongly redacted, Redis cluster cache keys split across slots, and agents could not turn off prompt caching for endpoints that reject it.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is in a heavy maintenance phase, carrying four release lines at once and backporting each fix to all of them. New capability lands in 3.x while 2.x and 1.x get the same patches, a sign many self-hosters have not moved to 3.

◆ Prediction

More same-day patch tags across all four lines are likely until 3.2 settles; a 3.3 feature release would be the next substantive change.

2.5

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.
