Security vulnerabilities and automated fixes for encryption issues

A critical vulnerability was discovered in AESEncryption.java where decrypted plaintext was being printed directly to standard output, exposing sensitive data to anyone with access to application logs. This fix eliminates the dangerous logging pattern that completely undermined the purpose of AES encryption. Understanding this vulnerability is essential for any developer building applications that handle sensitive encrypted data.
A medium-severity vulnerability was discovered in a Docker CLI authentication plugin where OAuth tokens and API keys were stored in plaintext on the local filesystem without any encryption. Despite having PBKDF2 cryptographic capabilities available in the project dependencies, the authentication store was writing sensitive credentials directly to disk, exposing them to potential theft by malicious actors with filesystem access.
A medium-severity vulnerability was discovered where OAuth tokens and API keys were stored in plaintext on the local filesystem without encryption. Despite having PBKDF2 cryptographic capabilities available in the application's dependencies, these sensitive credentials were written directly to disk, exposing users to potential credential theft and unauthorized account access.
A medium-severity vulnerability was discovered where OAuth tokens and API keys were being stored in plaintext on the local filesystem without any encryption. Despite having PBKDF2 cryptographic capabilities available in the project dependencies, the authentication module was writing sensitive credentials directly to disk, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access. This fix addresses a common but dangerous security oversight that could compromise user accounts and API access.

A medium-severity vulnerability was discovered in a JavaScript streaming application where insecure WebSocket (ws://) connections were being used instead of secure WebSocket (wss://) connections. This security gap could expose sensitive data to man-in-the-middle attacks, allowing attackers to intercept and manipulate real-time communication between clients and servers.
