Summary

This PR remediates a Password hashes should not be disclosed finding in artifacts/db-reset.js (lines 7–67).

The database reset script was storing plaintext passwords ("Admin_123", "User1_123", "User2_123") and commented-out bcrypt hashes directly in the USERS_TO_INSERT array. This exposed credentials in version control and would have inserted plaintext passwords into the MongoDB users collection.

Changes

  • Added const bcrypt = require("bcryptjs"); to enable runtime password hashing
  • Removed all plaintext password fields from the three user objects in USERS_TO_INSERT
  • Deleted all commented-out password hash lines
  • Added a hashPassword helper function that generates bcrypt hashes with 10 salt rounds
  • Modified the MongoClient.connect callback to be async
  • Added runtime password hashing before database insertion:
    USERS_TO_INSERT[0].password = await hashPassword("Admin_123");
    USERS_TO_INSERT[1].password = await hashPassword("User1_123");
    USERS_TO_INSERT[2].password = await hashPassword("User2_123");

Each user now receives a freshly-generated bcrypt hash when the script runs, ensuring no credentials are committed to source control.
