🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: The Bearer token validation used a length check before crypto.timingSafeEqual, allowing attackers to infer the length of valid tokens through timing differences.
🎯 Impact: Attackers could reduce the search space for brute-forcing authentication tokens, potentially leading to unauthorized access.
🔧 Fix: Changed the validation to hash both the provided token and the valid tokens to a fixed length (SHA-256) before using crypto.timingSafeEqual, ensuring constant-time comparison regardless of input length.
✅ Verification: Ran bun run lint, bun test ./tests/unit/cli/commands/serve.test.ts, and bun run test:full successfully.
