 ### Changed
 
+- `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` is now only set to the same origin as the
+  domain, but with an HTTP scheme as opposed to `*` ([#2484]).
 - `workDir` now supports symlinks.
 - Stopped mounting together the directories `/opt/adguardhome/conf` and
   `/opt/adguardhome/work` in our Docker images ([#2589]).
