# Security: Hardcoded Credentials Cleanup
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
All hardcoded credentials have been removed from the codebase and replaced with environment variables.
|
|
|
|
## Changes Made
|
|
|
|
### 1. Updated Files (Removed Hardcoded Credentials)
|
|
|
|
#### Backend Scripts
|
|
- `backend/check-legacy-deployments.js` - Database and Legacy API credentials
|
|
- `backend/fix-legacy-deployments.js` - Legacy API token
|
|
- `backend/scripts/create-test-user.js` - Database credentials
|
|
- `backend/scripts/inspect-db.js` - Database credentials
|
|
|
|
#### Root Scripts
|
|
- `scripts/fetch-otp.js` - Database credentials
|
|
- `scripts/legacy-api/create_deployment.sh` - Legacy API token
|
|
- `mqtt-test.js` - MQTT credentials
|
|
|
|
### 2. Updated Configuration
|
|
|
|
#### backend/.env.example
|
|
Added the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Database (PostgreSQL)
|
|
DB_HOST=your-db-host
|
|
DB_PORT=5432
|
|
DB_NAME=your-db-name
|
|
DB_USER=your-db-user
|
|
DB_PASSWORD=your-db-password
|
|
|
|
# Legacy API (eluxnetworks.net)
|
|
LEGACY_API_USERNAME=your-username
|
|
LEGACY_API_TOKEN=your-jwt-token
|
|
|
|
# MQTT Configuration
|
|
MQTT_BROKER=mqtt://mqtt.eluxnetworks.net:1883
|
|
MQTT_USER=your-mqtt-username
|
|
MQTT_PASSWORD=your-mqtt-password
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. New Documentation Files
|
|
|
|
- `scripts/README.md` - Documentation for root scripts
|
|
- `backend/scripts/README.md` - Documentation for backend scripts
|
|
- `MQTT_TESTING.md` - MQTT testing guide
|
|
- `SECURITY_CREDENTIALS_CLEANUP.md` - This file
|
|
|
|
## Required Action
|
|
|
|
### Before Running Scripts
|
|
|
|
Ensure that `backend/.env` contains all required credentials:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Database
|
|
DB_HOST=eluxnetworks.net
|
|
DB_PORT=5432
|
|
DB_NAME=wellnuo_app
|
|
DB_USER=your-username
|
|
DB_PASSWORD=your-password
|
|
|
|
# Legacy API
|
|
LEGACY_API_USERNAME=robster
|
|
LEGACY_API_TOKEN=your-actual-jwt-token
|
|
|
|
# MQTT
|
|
MQTT_BROKER=mqtt://mqtt.eluxnetworks.net:1883
|
|
MQTT_USER=your-mqtt-username
|
|
MQTT_PASSWORD=your-mqtt-password
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Security Best Practices
|
|
|
|
1. ✅ Never commit `.env` files (already in `.gitignore`)
|
|
2. ✅ Use environment variables for all credentials
|
|
3. ✅ Keep `.env.example` updated but without real values
|
|
4. ✅ Document required environment variables in README files
|
|
5. ✅ Review code regularly for accidentally committed secrets
|
|
|
|
## Remaining Credentials in Repository
|
|
|
|
The following files contain credentials but are acceptable:
|
|
|
|
### Documentation (Examples Only)
|
|
- `docs/API_INTEGRATION_REQUEST.md` - Example JWT format
|
|
- `docs/MQTT_NOTIFICATIONS_ARCHITECTURE.md` - Example usage
|
|
- `MQTT-DESCRIPTION.md` - Historical documentation with example commands
|
|
|
|
### Configuration (Git-Ignored)
|
|
- `backend/.env` - **Git-ignored** - Contains actual credentials
|
|
|
|
### Test Data (Git-Ignored)
|
|
- `wellnuoSheme/*.json` - Schema files (should be git-ignored)
|
|
|
|
### External Collections
|
|
- `api/Wellnuo_API.postman_collection.json` - Postman collection (expired test tokens)
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
To verify no credentials are hardcoded in active code:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check for database passwords
|
|
grep -r "W31153Rg31" --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.git \
|
|
--exclude-dir=temp_serve --exclude-dir=wellnuoSheme
|
|
|
|
# Check for MQTT passwords
|
|
grep -r "anandk_8" --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.git \
|
|
--exclude-dir=temp_serve --exclude-dir=wellnuoSheme
|
|
|
|
# Check for JWT tokens (should only be in .env and docs)
|
|
grep -r "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9" \
|
|
--exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.git \
|
|
--exclude-dir=temp_serve --exclude-dir=wellnuoSheme \
|
|
--exclude-dir=api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
✅ **All hardcoded credentials removed from active code**
|
|
✅ **Environment variables configured**
|
|
✅ **Documentation updated**
|
|
✅ **Scripts updated to use .env**
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Review `backend/.env` and ensure all credentials are up to date
|
|
2. Update any expired JWT tokens
|
|
3. Consider rotating credentials that were previously hardcoded
|
|
4. Add `wellnuoSheme/` to `.gitignore` if it contains sensitive data
