Users should also refrain from changing the default setting that only allows RPC connections from localhost. Allowing connections from remote hosts would enable a MITM to execute arbitrary RPC commands, which could lead to compromise of the account running zcashd and loss of funds. For multi-user services that use one or more zcashd instances on the backend, the parameters passed in by users should be controlled to prevent confused-deputy attacks which could spend from any keys held by that zcashd.

The option `-debug=zrpcunsafe` covers logging of sensitive information in z_* calls which you would only need for debugging and audit purposes. For example, if you want to examine the memo field of a note being spent.
Private spending keys for z addresses are never logged.
Potentially-Missing Required Modifications
------------------------------------------
In addition to potential mistakes in code we added to Bitcoin Core, and
potential mistakes in our modifications to Bitcoin Core, it is also possible
that there were potential changes we were supposed to make to Bitcoin Core but
didn't, either because we didn't even consider making those changes, or we ran
out of time. We have brainstormed and documented a variety of such possibilities
in [issue #826](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/826), and believe that we
have changed or done everything that was necessary for the 1.0.0 launch. Users
may want to review this list themselves.
