First Flight #1: PasswordStore

Summary

The PasswordStore contract stores the user's password directly in the s_password variable, creating a serious security vulnerability.

Vulnerability Details

In the PasswordStore contract, the user's password is stored directly in the s_password variable. This creates a serious security vulnerability because the password becomes easily accessible to unauthorized parties. Typical contracts should use secure methods such as hashing the password before storing it to ensure user privacy and security.

Impact

This issue has a high impact on the security of the contract. Storing the password directly in the s_password variable makes the password easily discoverable and potentially accessible by anyone with access to the contract.

Recommendations

To fix this issue, should change the way the password is stored. Instead of storing the password directly, use a password hashing function before storing it in the s_password variable. Consider using a secure hashing library such as keccak256 to protect the user's password from unauthorized access. This will enhance security and protect user passwords from exposure within the contract.
