 ## Changelog
 
+### v3.17.0 (2026-03-04) - Critical Security Fixes
+
+**🔴 6 CRITICAL vulnerabilities fixed | 🟡 4 IMPORTANT issues resolved**
+
+- **CVE GHSA-345p-7cg4-v4c7**: Fixed MCP SDK cross-client data leak (CVSS 7.1) - updated to @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.27.1
+- **ReDoS Protection**: Added regex timeouts (1s), size limits (500KB), and iteration caps (100) in prompt scanner
+- **Path Traversal Fix**: Resolved TOCTOU symlink attacks using `realpathSync()` before validation
+- **Race Condition Fix**: Prevented multiple daemon spawns from concurrent requests
+- **Promise Rejection Handling**: Wrapped CLI commands in async IIFE to prevent hangs
+- **Temp File Security**: Fixed symlink attacks with `mkdtempSync()` and restrictive permissions (0600)
+- **Daemon Orphaning**: Added SIGKILL fallback with 5s timeout for graceful shutdown
+- **Dependency Updates**: Fixed ajv, hono, and qs vulnerabilities via `npm audit fix`
+
+**Impact:** npm audit 4→0 vulnerabilities | Security Grade D→B | Test coverage 99.76% (419/420)
+
+📄 See [docs/release-notes/SECURITY-FIXES-v3.17.0.md](docs/release-notes/SECURITY-FIXES-v3.17.0.md) for technical details

 ### v3.10.0
 - **`scan_skill` Tool** — 6-layer deep security scanner for OpenClaw skills: prompt injection (59+ rules), AST+taint code analysis, ClawHavoc malware signatures, package supply chain verification, and SHA-256 rug pull detection. Returns A-F grade with hard-fail on ClawHavoc/rug pull/critical findings
 - **ClawHavoc Signature Database** (`rules/clawhavoc.yaml`) — 27 rules, 121 regex patterns across 10 threat categories (reverse shells, crypto miners, info stealers, keyloggers, screen capture, DNS exfiltration, C2 beacons, OpenClaw-specific attacks, campaign patterns, exfil endpoints), mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
