🛡️ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix Hardcoded SMTP Password #30
Conversation
🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: A hardcoded, base64-encoded SMTP password was found in `config.py`.
🎯 Impact: This vulnerability could allow an attacker with access to the source code to compromise the email account, potentially leading to unauthorized access, phishing attacks, or other malicious activities.
🔧 Fix: The hardcoded password has been removed from `config.py` and replaced with a secure method of loading the password from an environment variable (`SMTP_PASS`). The `backend.py` file has been updated to use `os.getenv("SMTP_PASS")`. Additionally, `run_all_cmd.bat` and `README.md` have been updated to reflect this change.
✅ Verification: The fix can be verified by confirming that the hardcoded password is no longer present in `config.py` and that the application now requires the `SMTP_PASS` environment variable to be set for email functionality to work.
