-## 2025-06-07 - [Added Security Headers via Caddy]
-
-**Vulnerability:** Missing HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy).
-**Learning:** The application does not apply security headers in the Bun application server but instead relies on the Caddy reverse proxy to inject them in the `Caddyfile`.
-**Prevention:** Always configure security headers at the reverse proxy level (`Caddyfile`) instead of within the backend API routing code to ensure all routes, including static files, are properly protected.
+## 2024-06-06 - Missing HTTP Security Headers
+**Vulnerability:** The Caddyfile configuration was missing standard HTTP security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy), leaving the application susceptible to clickjacking, MIME-type sniffing, and sensitive data leakage via referrers.
+**Learning:** The application relies on Caddy as a reverse proxy, and by default, Caddy doesn't automatically add these specific security headers unless explicitly configured.
+**Prevention:** Ensure that reverse proxy configurations in new projects or updates to existing ones explicitly include essential HTTP security headers in a global scope to protect all served content.
