🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The /admin/login/ route used a generic except Exception as e handler that caught all errors (including HTTPExceptions thrown by underlying logic, such as a 500 error for missing configuration) and blindly returned str(e) in the detail of a new 401 HTTPException. This incorrectly exposed raw internal string representations of exceptions directly to the client.
🎯 Impact: Potential leakage of sensitive internal details (e.g. database connection strings or missing configuration state) to unauthorized users.
πŸ”§ Fix: Refactored the exception handling in main.py's /admin/login/ route. Explicitly caught and re-raised HTTPException to preserve intended responses (like 500 for missing config), and replaced the catch-all Exception block to log the detail internally while returning a sanitized generic error to the client. Also added a .jules/sentinel.md entry.
βœ… Verification: Verified via an ad-hoc test script using mocks (since removed) that unconfigured credentials result in a proper 500 error and other exceptions are sanitized. All existing Pytest tests continue to pass.
