🛡️ Sentinel: [MEDIUM] Fix Information Leakage in API Routes - #186
Conversation
Updated API error responses to return generic error messages (e.g., "Internal server error") instead of raw error objects or downstream API contexts that leak internal implementations. Actual errors and API statuses are now securely logged server-side via console.error. Co-authored-by: fysp11 <13081700+fysp11@users.noreply.github.com>

🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
💡 Vulnerability: Information Leakage in API Responses. Multiple API routes (
ai-chat.ts,ai-image.ts,google-chat.ts,tts.ts) were directly returning internal system errors, actual error properties like(err as Error).message, or raw upstream API errors to the client on failure. This inherently risks leaking implementation details, third-party structures, system paths, or environment specifics to untrusted clients.🎯 Impact: Potential exposure of sensitive data via stack traces and API keys configurations to unauthorized parties who purposefully send malformed queries to prompt unhandled backend exceptions.
🔧 Fix: Substituted explicit error data in JSON error returns with a generic "Internal server error" string. Maintained the internal visibility for admins and developers by persisting raw details to server logs using
console.error().✅ Verification: Run
pnpm run checkand manually assert that triggering an error on these API endpoints no longer echoes explicit.messagecontent from unhandled promises or third party providers back onto the client network trace.PR created automatically by Jules for task 14566050397298368181 started by @fysp11
