🛡️ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix hardcoded JWT secret fallback#12
Conversation
…tion This change updates the `getJwtSecret` function in `server/middleware/auth.ts` to throw a fatal error if the application is running in production mode and the `JWT_SECRET` environment variable is not set. This prevents the application from accidentally starting with an insecure, hardcoded default secret. 🚨 Severity: CRITICAL 💡 Vulnerability: Hardcoded JWT secret fallback 🎯 Impact: If exploited, an attacker could forge valid JWT tokens and bypass authentication. 🔧 Fix: Added a check for `process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'` and required `process.env.JWT_SECRET`. ✅ Verification: Verified via manual code review and ensured tests pass in development mode.
