Redmine patches three security flaws in 7.0.2 and gives admins a page listing every webhook.

issue trackingself-hostedsecurity patchingwebhooksrailsopen source
◆Current state
Redmine 7.0.2 and 6.1.5 shipped at the end of September with three security fixes: private issue subjects exposed through the REST API, private project names and role assignments exposed through group memberships, and a DOM-based XSS on clipboard paste. Rails moves to 8.1.4 and 7.2.4 respectively. The 7.0 line also gets a webhook administration page, SVG icon caching and a fix for UI freezes on very large custom fields.
◆Where it's heading
The security cadence holds, and the two API leaks continue a run of defects where private data escapes through an include or list path. The 7.0 branch keeps absorbing polish around its headline webhook feature rather than adding new capability. This release names only the 7.0 and 6.1 series, where August's also covered 6.0.
◆Prediction
Expect another coordinated security release on the same two-to-three-month rhythm, with continued webhook and performance work on 7.0. Whether 6.0 returns to the coordinated set is unclear from these entries.

    Redmine 7.0.3, 6.1.6 and 6.0.12 released

    Security releases across all three Redmine branches fix a wiki-macro ReDoS, a reflected XSS and back_url validation, with 7.0.3 and 6.1.6 also closing OAuth token-scope bypasses. Redmine now patches its legacy 6.0 branch whenever a High or Critical vulnerability is fixed.

    Redmine 7.0.1, 6.1.4 and 6.0.11 released

    The first maintenance release on the 7.0 branch, backported to 6.1 and 6.0, carrying five security fixes plus a text-formatting performance regression fix and an addition to the wiki page list API. It is the follow-through that makes 7.0 safe to adopt rather than anything new.

    Redmine 7.0.0 is now available

    ⚡ SPARK

    The anchor of the current arc: the first major version since 6.0, adding an outbound integration surface and resetting the framework baseline. Everything shipped since has been maintenance on the branch it opened.

    A coordinated security release across 6.1, 6.0, and 5.1 two weeks before 7.0.0 shipped, closing six defects including a permission bypass on bulk attachment downloads and a private-project name leak. Standard pre-major hygiene on the outgoing branches.
