## Change History

### Version 5.0.2 (August 14, 2026)

#### Security Fixes
1. Sandboxed untrusted HTML previews in an opaque-origin iframe and disabled embedded JavaScript by default, preventing previewed files from executing in the kkFileView application origin (GHSA-9wcf-jxxf-w2g2)
2. Disabled the demo file deletion endpoint by default, changed it to POST, and required an explicitly configured password with exact comparison (GHSA-f3qx-xrwc-5428)

#### Fixes
1. Refreshed ImageIO plugins when PDF conversion starts so nested JAR providers such as the JBIG2 reader are discovered, preventing images from disappearing in PDF-to-image previews

#### Upgrade Notes
1. All users running v5.0.1 or earlier are strongly encouraged to upgrade to v5.0.2
2. JDK 21 or higher remains required, and existing v5.0.1 configuration can be reused
3. File deletion is now disabled unless `KK_DELETE_PASSWORD` or an external `delete.password` is set to an independent strong password; integrations must call `/deleteFile` with POST
4. `kk.scriptjs` now defaults to `false`; when explicitly enabled, scripts still run only inside the isolated iframe sandbox

### Version 5.0.1 (July 13, 2026)

#### Security Fixes
1. Fixed `/addTask` bypassing trusted-host and local-directory filters, which could allow server-side request forgery (SSRF) (GHSA-gwwj-52hv-6g2m)
2. Fixed the `/listFiles` `directory` parameter escaping the demo directory, which could allow path traversal and directory information disclosure (GHSA-pmp8-g8p2-p6jq)

#### Fixes
1. Fixed PDF cross-origin access, page positioning, text highlighting, printing, and print watermark issues
2. Fixed PDF absolute paths behind reverse proxies and parsing failures when watermark or highlight text contains special characters
3. Fixed inconsistent Redis settings across standalone, cluster, master-replica, and sentinel modes, including missing address protocols
4. Fixed successful responses after MIME validation failures, unclear HTTP error reporting, and accidental closure of a shared HTTP client
5. Fixed xlsx parsing crashes when LuckyExcel data-validation types have no mapping

#### Improvements
1. Moved LuckyExcel parsing for large xlsx files into a Web Worker, with automatic main-thread fallback when the Worker is unavailable or fails
2. Added `pdf.sidebar.open` to control whether the PDF sidebar opens by default
3. Added Linux, Windows, and macOS validation to Maven CI
4. Added a repository security policy and private vulnerability reporting guidance

#### Upgrade Notes
1. All users running v5.0.0 or earlier are strongly encouraged to upgrade to v5.0.1
2. JDK 21 or higher remains required, and existing v5.0.0 configuration can be reused
