Summary
Fix critical severity security issue in
lib/sendmail/sendgrid.js.Vulnerability
V-001lib/sendmail/sendgrid.js:15Description: The SendGrid transport implementation retrieves the API key from environment variable SENDGRID_API_KEY without implementing secure secret management practices. While using environment variables is better than hardcoding, the code lacks key rotation, expiration, or secure key management. The API key is passed directly in HTTP Authorization headers on every request to SendGrid API.
Evidence
Exploitation scenario: An attacker who gains access to environment variables (via process inspection, container escape, or server compromise) can extract the SENDGRID_API_KEY and use it to authenticate to SendGrid API.
Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
V-001flagged this pattern.Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
Threat Model Context
This is a Node.js library - vulnerabilities affect downstream consumers who use this package.
