+#### Proxy bypass during source upgrade [Reported by ZeroMux]
+
+In ZeroNet before 0.5.6 during the client's built-in source code upgrade mechanism,
+ZeroNet did not respect Tor and/or proxy settings.
+
+Result: ZeroNet downloaded the update without using the Tor network and potentially leaked the connections.
+
+Fix: Removed the problematic code line from the updater that removed the proxy settings from the socket library.
+
+Affected versions: ZeroNet 0.5.5 and earlier, Fixed in: ZeroNet 0.5.6
+
+
+#### XSS vulnerability using DNS rebinding. [Reported by Beardog108]
+
+In ZeroNet before 0.5.6 the web interface did not validate the request's Host parameter.
+
+Result: An attacker using a specially crafted DNS entry could have bypassed the browser's cross-site-scripting protection
+and potentially gained access to user's private data stored on site.
+
+Fix: By default ZeroNet only accept connections from 127.0.0.1 and localhost hosts.
+If you bind the ui server to an external interface, then it also adds the first http request's host to the allowed host list
+or you can define it manually using --ui_host.
+
+Affected versions: ZeroNet 0.5.5 and earlier, Fixed in: ZeroNet 0.5.6
