Countly vs OpenCTI: at a glance
What is Countly?
Countly 25.03.58 tightens API tokens, sessions and login lockouts in one security patch.
Countly 25.03.58 is a security-heavy patch for the 25.03 line. App-restricted tokens must now declare their permissions, password changes and member lockouts revoke tokens, single-use tokens and reset links work once even under concurrency, and login failures count per account regardless of username casing. It also tightens access to dashboards, dbviewer and exports, and fixes file migration, remote-config targeting and star-rating widgets.
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI rebuilds its knowledge graph: keyboard control, grouping by type, SVG export.
Filigran shipped four OpenCTI weeklies in a week. 7.261021.1 (replacing a deleted 7.261021.0) lets Ask Ariane show and download decks, reports and videos made by XTM One and overhauls every graph surface. 7.261023.0 adds keyboard control of graphs, grouping of same-type objects and higher-resolution or SVG graph export, plus fixes for live-stream resource leaks. 7.261023.1 and 7.261026.0 are fix releases.

Countly
5.0ANALYTICS
Countly 25.03.58 tightens API tokens, sessions and login lockouts in one security patch.
◆ Current state
Countly 25.03.58 is a security-heavy patch for the 25.03 line. App-restricted tokens must now declare their permissions, password changes and member lockouts revoke tokens, single-use tokens and reset links work once even under concurrency, and login failures count per account regardless of username casing. It also tightens access to dashboards, dbviewer and exports, and fixes file migration, remote-config targeting and star-rating widgets.
◆ Where it's heading
The 25.03 LTS line keeps absorbing security work at a fast clip: an upstream Node CVE, certificate distrust, and now a sweep of Countly's own token and permission model. Feature work stays in enterprise licensing and journeys, while LTS releases mostly harden what exists.
◆ Prediction
Expect a matching 24.05 backport of the token and permission fixes. Token owners may also need migration guidance, since existing app-restricted tokens without permissions are now limited to their owner's rights.
OpenCTI
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenCTI rebuilds its knowledge graph: keyboard control, grouping by type, SVG export.
◆ Current state
Filigran shipped four OpenCTI weeklies in a week. 7.261021.1 (replacing a deleted 7.261021.0) lets Ask Ariane show and download decks, reports and videos made by XTM One and overhauls every graph surface. 7.261023.0 adds keyboard control of graphs, grouping of same-type objects and higher-resolution or SVG graph export, plus fixes for live-stream resource leaks. 7.261023.1 and 7.261026.0 are fix releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The knowledge graph is getting the attention dashboards got the week before, closing feature requests that date back years (some issue numbers are under 2000). In parallel, XTM One output keeps moving into the chat, and organization segregation and connector catalog hygiene keep appearing in fix lists.
◆ Prediction
Expect further graph work in coming weeklies and the Material UI 9 migration to finish, with occasional regressions. The entries do not indicate when a new LTS line will be cut.
