🛡️ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix insecure secret storage in UserDefaults#54
Conversation
🚨 Severity: CRITICAL 💡 Vulnerability: The application was storing a sensitive shared secret (`universalControlRelaySharedSecret`) in plaintext within `UserDefaults`. During migration to `KeychainService`, if the keychain save failed, the plaintext secret would remain in `UserDefaults`, allowing for an information disclosure vulnerability. 🎯 Impact: Local attackers or malicious applications could read the plaintext secret from `UserDefaults` and impersonate the user to control the remote mouse/keyboard using Universal Control Relay. 🔧 Fix: Updated `relaySharedSecretData` and `storeRelaySharedSecret` to explicitly delete the legacy/insecure copy of the secret from `UserDefaults` unconditionally, following a "fail-secure" model. If the `KeychainService` migration fails, the secret is deleted rather than left exposed. ✅ Verification: Statically verified the code changes to ensure the removal happens regardless of the Keychain save result. Cleaned up scratchpad artifacts. Co-authored-by: NSEvent <44446865+NSEvent@users.noreply.github.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR reorganizes the timing of insecure UserDefaults credential cleanup during Keychain migration. The relay shared secret deletion now occurs earlier and more reliably in both migration and storage flows, ensuring the plaintext copy is removed even when downstream operations fail.
