 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.3.29] — 2026-05-20
+
+- **[wrapper]** **Security**: `cloakserve` — guard WebSocket origins to prevent browser-origin CSRF via CDP proxy (thanks [@0xlally](https://github.com/0xlally) for the report, [@honor2030](https://github.com/honor2030) for the fix, #239, #240)
+- **[wrapper]** **Security**: Lambda example — add URL scheme validation, SSRF protection, post-navigation re-validation, remove unsafe caller-controlled options (#233)
+- **[wrapper]** **Security**: CI — isolate `workflow_dispatch` input to avoid shell injection in attest-release (thanks [@aaronjmars](https://github.com/aaronjmars), #223)
+- **[wrapper]** **Security**: JS — bump tar + transitive deps via npm audit fix (thanks [@aaronjmars](https://github.com/aaronjmars), #222)
+- **[wrapper]** Add `extension_paths` parameter for loading Chrome extensions in all launch functions (thanks [@zackycodes](https://github.com/zackycodes), #210)
+- **[wrapper]** Humanize: add Playwright-style actionability checks — auto-wait for visible, enabled, stable elements before humanized actions (#228)
+- **[wrapper]** JS: export composable launch helpers — `buildLaunchOptions()` and `humanizeBrowser()` for custom Playwright integrations (thanks [@honor2030](https://github.com/honor2030), #244)
+- **[wrapper]** JS: add `launchPersistentContext()` to Puppeteer wrapper (#261)
+- **[wrapper]** Add `flake.nix` for Nix/NixOS (thanks [@Seryiza](https://github.com/Seryiza), #220)
+- **[meta]** JS: sync package-lock metadata (thanks [@245678000000](https://github.com/245678000000), #219)
+
+## [0.3.28] — 2026-05-11
+
+- **[wrapper]** **Security**: `cloakserve` — sanitize fingerprint seed to prevent path traversal, bind to `127.0.0.1` on bare metal, detect Podman containers (#217)
+- **[wrapper]** Fix GeoIP resolution hanging indefinitely — bounded with 10s timeout so `launch()` cannot stall (thanks [@manaskarra](https://github.com/manaskarra), #213)
+- **[wrapper]** JS: preserve iframe scope in humanized frame actions — `check()`, `uncheck()`, `selectOption()` now execute in the correct frame (thanks [@manaskarra](https://github.com/manaskarra), #201)
+- **[wrapper]** JS: add TypeScript types to humanized method options — `HumanActionOptions` type for `human_config` and `timeout` overrides (thanks [@eofreternal](https://github.com/eofreternal), #205)
+- **[wrapper]** Log when SOCKS5 credential auto-encoding rewrites a proxy URL (thanks [@Youhai020616](https://github.com/Youhai020616), #209)
+- **[wrapper]** JS: bump `playwright-core` peer dependency minimum to >=1.53.0 (#200)
+- **[meta]** Bump sigstore/cosign-installer in CI (#214)
+
 ## [0.3.27] — 2026-05-06
 
 - **[wrapper]** Per-call `human_config` override — pass `human_config={...}` to individual humanized methods to override global HumanConfig on a per-action basis (#183)

 If you see empty/missing dynamic content on cold-start invocations, raise `max_settle_ms` in the event payload (e.g. `25000`) — the default `15000` is tuned for warm runs.
 
+## Security
+
+The handler validates all incoming URLs before navigation:
+
+- **Scheme restriction** — only `http://` and `https://` are accepted. `file://`, `data:`, `javascript:`, and other schemes are rejected.
+- **SSRF protection** — hostnames are resolved before navigation and checked against private, loopback, link-local, reserved, and multicast IP ranges. This blocks access to cloud metadata endpoints (e.g. `169.254.169.254`), localhost services, and internal networks.
+- **Post-navigation re-validation** — the final URL is re-checked after page load and after post-navigation waits to catch server-side redirects to blocked destinations.
+- **No caller-controlled Chromium flags** — the handler does not accept arbitrary CLI flags from the event. Internal retry strategies add flags as needed (e.g. `--ignore-certificate-errors` for cert errors).
+- **No arbitrary JS execution** — `wait_for_function` is not exposed. Use `wait_for_selector` or `smart_wait` instead.
+
+**Limitations**:
+- Post-navigation re-validation prevents response *exfiltration*, but does not prevent the browser from *making* the request. If an internal endpoint has side effects on GET, the request will still reach it before validation rejects the response. Use network-level controls (security groups, VPC) to protect side-effect-bearing internal endpoints.
+- DNS rebinding attacks can bypass pre-navigation IP checks in theory, though the post-navigation re-validation provides a second layer of defense.
+
+**Trust boundary**: if this handler is exposed to untrusted callers (Lambda Function URL, API Gateway without auth, public ALB), add an authentication layer (API Gateway authorizer, IAM auth, etc.). The URL validation above is defense-in-depth, not a substitute for access control.
+
 ## License
 
 The patched Chromium binary inside the upstream `cloakhq/cloakbrowser` image is governed by the **CloakBrowser Binary License** (published at https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser/blob/main/BINARY-LICENSE.md). Internal organizational use (private ECR, your own scraping pipelines, your own business) is free. Exposing this Lambda as a paid API to third-party customers — i.e. browser-as-a-service — requires an OEM/SaaS license from CloakHQ (`cloakhq@pm.me`). Do not push the resulting image to a public registry; that would be redistribution and is prohibited.
