This pull request resolves a critical security vulnerability in the password hashing mechanism.

  • 🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
  • πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The application was using a flawed password hashing mechanism that allowed for unsalted password hashes to be stored. This made stored passwords vulnerable to rainbow table attacks.
  • 🎯 Impact: An attacker who gained access to the database could have easily cracked user passwords.
  • πŸ”§ Fix: The password hashing mechanism was refactored to always use a secure, randomly generated salt for each password. The insecure saltEnabled flag was removed, and the API was updated to be safer and more intuitive. All tests and call sites were updated to use the new secure methods.
  • βœ… Verification: The mvn package command was run successfully, and all tests pass. The fix was verified through multiple code reviews.

A critical security vulnerability was identified in the password hashing mechanism. The `PasswordManager` class allowed for the creation of unsalted password hashes via a `saltEnabled` boolean parameter, making stored passwords vulnerable to rainbow table attacks.

This commit refactors the password hashing implementation to enforce the use of a randomly generated salt for every password.

- The `PasswordManager.hashPassword` method was changed to remove the `saltEnabled` parameter and always generate a salt.
- The `PasswordManager.verifyPassword` method was updated to correctly handle the new salted hash format.
- The `Crypto` facade was updated to expose the new secure methods, which is a necessary breaking change.
- All tests in the `crypto`, `orm`, and `auth` modules that used the old, insecure methods were updated to use the new secure API.
- Generated files (`*secureData*.txt` and `logfileConf.txt`) are now ignored by git to prevent accidental commits of sensitive data.
