🛡️ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix insecure randomness in coupon and token generation

[fatelessdev]

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: Math.random() was being used for generating security-sensitive tokens (e.g., bargain coupons and store credits), exposing them to predictability attacks.
🎯 Impact: Predictable coupon or store credit values could be exploited by malicious users, granting unauthorized access to these discounts.
🔧 Fix: Implemented generateSecureCode using the Web Crypto API (globalThis.crypto.getRandomValues()) in lib/utils.ts and refactored call sites to use it.
✅ Verification: Review the source replacements and confirm via bun test and bun run lint that no regressions were introduced.

💡 Suggestions & Improvements

• Performance: The generateSecureCode function is efficient and uses native Web Crypto API. Consider adding a length validation check for edge cases (e.g., length = 0).
• Maintainability: The utility function is well-documented and reusable across the codebase. Consider adding unit tests for the utility function itself.
• Best Practices: The implementation correctly uses globalThis.crypto which works in both browser and Node.js environments. The character set is appropriate for coupon codes.
