What is SOGo?

SOGo's release notes have become a vulnerability disclosure channel with a version number attached.

SOGo is a self-hosted groupware suite — webmail, calendaring and contacts — maintained by Alinto. Four of the last six releases exist primarily to fix security vulnerabilities: XSS through malicious mail, SQL injection, OpenID impersonation, script execution via theme and hint query parameters. The newest, 5.12.10, fixes four more and states that all previous versions are affected, with CVE identifiers still pending at publication.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.

Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

SOGo's release notes have become a vulnerability disclosure channel with a version number attached.

◆ Current state

SOGo is a self-hosted groupware suite — webmail, calendaring and contacts — maintained by Alinto. Four of the last six releases exist primarily to fix security vulnerabilities: XSS through malicious mail, SQL injection, OpenID impersonation, script execution via theme and hint query parameters. The newest, 5.12.10, fixes four more and states that all previous versions are affected, with CVE identifiers still pending at publication.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is a codebase whose input-handling surface is being systematically probed, largely by the community reporting to the project's bug address, and patched in batches. Release numbering has stopped being reliable as a timeline — 5.12.7 shipped after 5.12.8 — so version order tells you nothing about what a deployment contains. The two non-security releases in this window were both regression repairs from the security releases that preceded them, which is the cost of shipping fixes at this cadence.

◆ Prediction

Given four security batches in five months and CVE identifiers still being assigned retroactively, another batch on the same cadence is the most likely next release, with a regression patch following it.

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

◆ Where it's heading

Each beta adds a piece that larger teams need: SSO and SCIM, governance through ownership and lifecycle rules, and now machine access through MCP and scoped tokens. 3.0 is becoming an AI-accessible knowledge base with enterprise controls rather than a straight successor to 2.x.

◆ Prediction

Expect MCP tools to be tied to the new PAT scopes and page rules, and the beta cadence to keep adding governance features before a release candidate.
