OpenCTI vs OpenReplay: at a glance
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.
What is OpenReplay?
OpenReplay moves its Go backend to pgx v5 and patches vulnerable deps across 1.25–1.27.
On Oct 28 OpenReplay pushed backup tags on the 1.25, 1.26 and 1.27 lines that migrate the Go backend to pgx v5, bump vulnerable Go dependencies such as golang.org/x/net, and then fix a replay query that broke under the migration by casting issue_types to text. The previous days moved the assist and sourcemap-reader services to Node 26 LTS on the same lines and on 1.22.

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.
OpenReplay
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenReplay moves its Go backend to pgx v5 and patches vulnerable deps across 1.25–1.27.
◆ Current state
On Oct 28 OpenReplay pushed backup tags on the 1.25, 1.26 and 1.27 lines that migrate the Go backend to pgx v5, bump vulnerable Go dependencies such as golang.org/x/net, and then fix a replay query that broke under the migration by casting issue_types to text. The previous days moved the assist and sourcemap-reader services to Node 26 LTS on the same lines and on 1.22.
◆ Where it's heading
The release feed is all maintenance: dependency and runtime upgrades backported to several self-hosted lines at once, published as timestamped backup tags without feature notes. The quick follow-up fix shows the pgx migration is touching real query paths.
◆ Prediction
Expect more backup tags as the pgx v5 change reaches 1.22 and any further query fixes land; nothing in the entries points to a feature release.
