SuperTokens vs Wazuh: at a glance
What is SuperTokens?
SuperTokens tags 12.0.12 three weeks after its seven-advisory security release.
SuperTokens is a self-hostable auth backend. v12.0.12 on Nov 5 ships with only a compare link and no notes. The previous release, 12.0.11, fixed seven advisories, added SAML replay protection and made IdP-initiated SAML login require an ACS URL allow-list. The v12.3.0 canary in September added an activity log of user lifecycle events.
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.

SuperTokens
5.0INFRA · APIS
SuperTokens tags 12.0.12 three weeks after its seven-advisory security release.
◆ Current state
SuperTokens is a self-hostable auth backend. v12.0.12 on Nov 5 ships with only a compare link and no notes. The previous release, 12.0.11, fixed seven advisories, added SAML replay protection and made IdP-initiated SAML login require an ACS URL allow-list. The v12.3.0 canary in September added an activity log of user lifecycle events.
◆ Where it's heading
The stable 12.0 line is in patch mode, mostly security, while lifecycle events mature in the canary line. The gap between canary features and stable releases is still open.
◆ Prediction
It is unclear from the feed when the activity log reaches stable; more 12.0.x patches are the likely near-term output.
Wazuh
5.0INFRA · APIS
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.
