What is Roundcube?
Roundcube patches its Sieve filters and CSRF checks in a sixth paired security release
Roundcube shipped 1.7.6 and 1.6.21 on 9 November, three weeks after 1.7.5 and 1.6.20, again as an identical security pair. This round centres on the managesieve filter plugin (two script-injection paths and destructive actions triggerable cross-site via GET), plus CSRF bypasses, an open redirect, an SSRF bypass via nip.io and sslip.io hostnames and a disabled_actions bypass.
What is Krisp?
Krisp moves call transcripts and live captions to cloud transcription in KrispCX 2.84.4.
Krisp sells a Call Center AI suite to BPOs and contact centers: Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake and fraud detection. KrispCX 2.84.4 adds cloud transcription in beta for more accurate transcripts and Live Captions, plus in-call hints when the Krisp microphone is in use; the source note is truncated. October brought Conference mode for Voice Translation and a Fraud Detection beta.

Roundcube
5.0COMMS
Roundcube patches its Sieve filters and CSRF checks in a sixth paired security release
◆ Current state
Roundcube shipped 1.7.6 and 1.6.21 on 9 November, three weeks after 1.7.5 and 1.6.20, again as an identical security pair. This round centres on the managesieve filter plugin (two script-injection paths and destructive actions triggerable cross-site via GET), plus CSRF bypasses, an open redirect, an SSRF bypass via nip.io and sslip.io hostnames and a disabled_actions bypass.
◆ Where it's heading
Security releases now arrive every three to five weeks, each with a dozen or more externally reported fixes, and the same research group is behind many of them. The project is in a sustained audit phase, and both branches move together every time.
◆ Prediction
Another paired 1.7.x and 1.6.x security release within about a month is the most likely next entry, given the cadence since June.
Krisp
5.0COMMS
Krisp moves call transcripts and live captions to cloud transcription in KrispCX 2.84.4.
◆ Current state
Krisp sells a Call Center AI suite to BPOs and contact centers: Accent Conversion, Voice Translation, QA scoring, deepfake and fraud detection. KrispCX 2.84.4 adds cloud transcription in beta for more accurate transcripts and Live Captions, plus in-call hints when the Krisp microphone is in use; the source note is truncated. October brought Conference mode for Voice Translation and a Fraud Detection beta.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases arrive on a two-week cadence and keep stacking agent-assist features on the live call, from translation to fraud signals to captions. The September move to free-to-try has been followed by incremental depth rather than new product lines.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the live-call layer to move to cloud processing, with QA scoring and translation likely reusing the new transcription. The truncated notes leave the scope of the cloud beta unclear.
