+## [1.3.1] - 2024-10-25
+
+### Security Advisory
+
+- **IMPORTANT**: This release temporarily reverts the file access security improvements from 1.3.0 to restore element functionality. The element feature currently has a known security vulnerability that could allow unauthorized access to files. We strongly recommend against using elements in production environments until the next release.
+- A comprehensive security fix using HTTP-only cookie authentication will be implemented in an upcoming release.
