Security vulnerabilities and automated fixes for configuration issues
1 post found
A critical security issue was discovered in `assets/settings/global.json` where a real phone number (PII) was stored in plaintext alongside placeholder patterns for API keys and payment credentials. This design encouraged developers to substitute real credentials directly into a version-controlled file, creating a high risk of credential exposure via repository access or filesystem reads. The fix replaces the hardcoded phone number with a placeholder and reinforces safe configuration patterns.
