Wazuh vs Infisical: at a glance
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.
What is Infisical?
Infisical's Agent Vault learns to find services, with database and SSH access built in.
Infisical released v0.167.9 and v0.167.10 on November 13. v0.167.9 is a large release: Agent Vault adds service discovery, service descriptions, a built-in skill, PostgreSQL, MySQL and SSH services, MCP templates for six more providers and services packaged into access bundles. It also publishes KMS public keys as a JWKS, pins outbound connections to validated IPs and applies approval policies to certificate renewals. v0.167.10 lets users request a narrower path inside a glob access policy.

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.
Infisical
5.0INFRA · APIS
Infisical's Agent Vault learns to find services, with database and SSH access built in.
◆ Current state
Infisical released v0.167.9 and v0.167.10 on November 13. v0.167.9 is a large release: Agent Vault adds service discovery, service descriptions, a built-in skill, PostgreSQL, MySQL and SSH services, MCP templates for six more providers and services packaged into access bundles. It also publishes KMS public keys as a JWKS, pins outbound connections to validated IPs and applies approval policies to certificate renewals. v0.167.10 lets users request a narrower path inside a glob access policy.
◆ Where it's heading
Agent Vault, Infisical's credential broker for AI agents, gets new capability in nearly every release, moving from proxy tokens and MCP allowlists toward a catalog of services agents can discover and reach. Alongside it, the PKI, KMS and access-request features keep filling enterprise gaps. Releases come every two to four days.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Agent Vault service types and MCP templates, and access bundles to become the main way Agent Vault permissions are granted.
