First Flight #1: PasswordStore

Summary

The getPassword function in the provided PasswordStore contract has a comment that inaccurately mentions a parameter newPassword. However, the function signature does not include this parameter. This discrepancy could lead to confusion for developers or auditors reviewing the code.

Vulnerability Details
