 ## Changelog
 
+### v0.0.51 (2026-01-03)
+- **Fixed pod creation abuse**: Rate limited to 5 pods per IP per hour
+- **Fixed default token secret**: Production (NODE_ENV=production) now requires TOKEN_SECRET env var
+- **Added rate limiting**: Login endpoints limited to 10 attempts/min, registration to 5/hour
+
+### v0.0.50 (2026-01-03)
+- **Fixed SSRF in OIDC discovery**: Issuer URLs are now validated before fetching (HTTPS required, private IPs blocked)
+- **Fixed SSRF in client document fetch**: Client ID URLs are now validated before fetching
+- Added `src/utils/ssrf.js` - URL validation utility with DNS rebinding protection
+
 ### v0.0.49 (2026-01-03)
 - **Fixed ACL bypass**: ACL files now require `acl:Control` permission on the protected resource
 - **Fixed JWT signature bypass**: JWTs are now verified against the IdP's JWKS before accepting
