What's New

Tightens SECRET_KEY permissions and blocks private network media in image exports

Breaking Changes

  • Existing SECRET_KEY files readable by others must be rotated
  • Image exports may exclude media hosted on internal servers if SSRF protection is enabled
  • Existing access tokens stop working after SECRET_KEY rotation
  • Everyone must log in again after rotating the SECRET_KEY

New Features

  • Sandboxing for uploaded HTML, SVG, and XML files via Content-Security-Policy
  • Improved security for S3-compatible storage endpoints regarding DNS rebinding
  • Enhanced image export logic to block private network media URLs

Improvements

  • Generated SECRET_KEY file permissions are now restricted to the owner only

Upgrade Notes

Rotate your SECRET_KEY if other users can read the data directory to prevent unauthorized access. Image exports now skip media from private networks by default, requiring configuration adjustments if internal media is used. Ensure LABEL_STUDIO_HOST is set to allow exports to include uploaded files from the local server.
