@@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ All notable changes to Bambuddy will be documented in this file.
 - **Unauthenticated Bug Report Endpoints** — The bug report endpoints (`/start-logging`, `/stop-logging`, `/submit`) had no authentication, allowing anyone on the network to enable debug logging, retrieve system logs, and trigger bug report submissions with system diagnostics when authentication was enabled. All three endpoints now require authentication — `start-logging` requires `settings:update` permission, `stop-logging` and `submit` require `settings:read`. Endpoints remain open when authentication is disabled (the default). Reported responsibly by Sacha Vaudey via security@bambuddy.cool.
 - **API Key Empty Printer List Grants Full Access** — An API key with an empty `printer_ids` list (`[]`) was treated identically to `null` (global access to all printers), granting full printer access instead of no access. Now `null` means global access (admin key) and `[]` means no printer access. Existing API keys with empty lists are automatically migrated to `null` on startup. Also fixed the webhook queue endpoint which used a falsy check that would bypass the filter for empty lists. Reported responsibly by Sacha Vaudey via security@bambuddy.cool.
 - **Missing HTTP Security Headers** — API responses did not include standard security headers. Added a middleware that sets `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` (prevents MIME-sniffing), `X-Frame-Options: DENY` (prevents clickjacking via iframe embedding), and `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin` (limits URL leakage to external services) on every response. `Content-Security-Policy` was omitted because the React SPA uses inline styles extensively and a permissive CSP would provide no meaningful protection. `Strict-Transport-Security` was omitted because Bambuddy is a LAN application commonly accessed over HTTP — HSTS would lock users out. Reported responsibly by Sacha Vaudey via security@bambuddy.cool.
+- **Camera Snapshot Temp Files World-Readable** — Camera snapshot and plate detection endpoints created temporary JPEG files in `/tmp` with default 0644 permissions, making them readable by any local user. Switched from `NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False)` to `mkstemp` with explicit 0600 permissions so only the application user can read them. Cleanup was already handled via `finally` blocks. Reported responsibly by Sacha Vaudey via security@bambuddy.cool.
 
 ### Fixed
 - **Thumbnails Broken After Backend Restart** — Archive and library thumbnails returned 401 Unauthorized after a backend restart because stream tokens are stored in memory and lost on restart. The frontend now detects failed token-protected image loads and automatically refreshes the stream token, so thumbnails recover without a page reload.
