🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: CRLF injection in .env modification via public/api/settings.php. The application exposed an API endpoint to update .env variables from user input. It only trim()'ed the input but failed to strip internal carriage return (\r) or line feed (\n) characters.
🎯 Impact: This allowed attackers to inject new environment variables into the configuration file (CRLF injection), such as inserting Value\nINJECTED_KEY=malicious_value to overwrite or add new configurations.
πŸ”§ Fix: Sanitized all user input destined for line-based configuration files by explicitly stripping \r and \n characters (using str_replace(["\r", "\n"], '', $value)).
βœ… Verification: Ensure the security test suite passes. Also test the settings API with payload containing new lines - it should now strip the newlines instead of allowing injection. Added a learning entry to .jules/sentinel.md.

The application exposed an API endpoint (`public/api/settings.php`) to update `.env` variables from user input. It only `trim()`'ed the input but failed to strip internal carriage return (`\r`) or line feed (`\n`) characters. This allowed attackers to inject new environment variables into the configuration file (CRLF injection), such as inserting `Value\nINJECTED_KEY=malicious_value` to overwrite or add new configurations.

Sanitized all user input destined for line-based configuration files by explicitly stripping `\r` and `\n` characters (using `str_replace(["\r", "\n"], '', $value)`). Added a learning entry to `.jules/sentinel.md` regarding this vulnerability and how to prevent it.
