🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The Bearer token validation logic contained an early-return check on string/buffer length before calling crypto.timingSafeEqual. This short-circuit path leaked the length of the valid secret via timing differences.
🎯 Impact: An attacker could potentially deduce the exact length of the required secret token by observing the response timing.
🔧 Fix: Removed the length comparison and instead hashed both the provided token and the stored auth tokens to a fixed length (SHA-256) before securely comparing the hashes with crypto.timingSafeEqual.
✅ Verification: Run bun test ./tests/unit/cli/commands/serve.test.ts and ensure all tests pass. Run bun run test:full to verify no regressions.
