How to fix

  • Fixed in: 3.0.0

Restrict read access to application logs to trusted users only. Ensure SMTP_HOST and RESEND_API_KEY are always configured in production to prevent email template contents from being logged.

Technical details

The vulnerability consists of two information exposure issues: database connection URLs (including credentials) are written verbatim to migration startup logs, and when SMTP_HOST and RESEND_API_KEY are unset, email templates containing password-reset tokens and recipient email addresses are logged in full. An attacker with read access to application logs can extract database passwords, password-reset tokens, and personally identifiable information. Fixed in version 3.0.0.
