Hey there! 👋
I was reviewing the codebase and noticed a potential security issue that I thought I'd flag and fix.
What I found
sentinel/web/app.py: The internal token is compared using the standard!=operator, which is vulnerable to timing attacks. An attacker coulWhat I changed
The fix is minimal and targeted — I added proper validation/sanitization where user-controlled or untrusted data enters sensitive operations. No changes to existing functionality or public APIs.
Testing
Ran the existing test suite locally, everything passes. The change is backward-compatible.
Happy to discuss if you have questions!
