What is Grype?

Grype keeps grinding on false positives, now in Alpine and CVSSv4 scoring

Grype is Anchore's vulnerability scanner, and its releases sort into two streams: matching accuracy and ecosystem coverage. Since reachability analysis landed for Go in v0.116.0, the work has stayed on correctness — CycloneDX gaining vulnerable version ranges, then a run of false-positive and parsing fixes. v0.118.0 continues that, adding alias-aware aggregation to the Alpine apk matcher and correcting CVSSv4 severity calculation and old-JVM version comparisons.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

Grype keeps grinding on false positives, now in Alpine and CVSSv4 scoring

◆ Current state

Grype is Anchore's vulnerability scanner, and its releases sort into two streams: matching accuracy and ecosystem coverage. Since reachability analysis landed for Go in v0.116.0, the work has stayed on correctness — CycloneDX gaining vulnerable version ranges, then a run of false-positive and parsing fixes. v0.118.0 continues that, adding alias-aware aggregation to the Alpine apk matcher and correcting CVSSv4 severity calculation and old-JVM version comparisons.

◆ Where it's heading

Accuracy remains the roadmap. This release's single feature is a matcher refinement rather than a new capability, and the rest is wrong-answer repair plus a 72-package dependency sweep that remediates three of its own advisories. Reachability has still not extended past Go, so the code-aware ambition set out in v0.116.0 remains a Go-only capability several releases later.

◆ Prediction

Extending reachability to a second ecosystem is still the outstanding move, and the CVSSv4 correction suggests scoring accuracy will get further attention as v4 data spreads. These notes give no signal on which ecosystem comes next.

5.0

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

◆ Current state

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

◆ Where it's heading

The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
