Prowler vs ScreenshotOne

Prowler is shipping a minor release roughly weekly with patches filling the gaps. The agentic layer, Lighthouse, has moved from explaining findings to acting on them, with named skills attached to individual findings and every write path bound to the asking user's RBAC. Alongside that, 5.39.1 fixes an install path that had been quietly broken: 5.38.0 declared a cryptography floor its own dependencies capped below, so pip install prowler silently resolved back to 5.37.1.

Two tracks run in parallel and rarely overlap. The minor releases push the commercial agentic surface forward — triage skills, page context, the MCP tool set — while the patches defend the parts everyone uses: dependency resolution, container CVEs, and check correctness. That second track matters more than its version numbers suggest, because a security scanner reporting PASS when an API call failed is worse than one that errors. 5.39.1 fixes exactly that in the ECS task-definition checks, and makes the SES public-access check evaluate every identity policy rather than stopping at the first.

Expect the next minor to extend Lighthouse skills to groups of findings rather than one at a time, with patch releases continuing to absorb Trivy and base-image CVE churn.
