Fixes /~https://github.com/no-src/gofs/security/code-scanning/6
To fix the problem, we need to ensure that sensitive information, such as user passwords, is not logged in clear text. The best way to fix this issue without changing existing functionality is to modify the logging statement to exclude the password information. Instead of logging the entire
cp.Usersstring, we should log only the usernames or other non-sensitive information.We will modify the
generateRandomUserfunction in thecmd/gofs.gofile to log only the usernames of the generated users. This can be achieved by creating a new function that extracts and returns only the usernames from the user list.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
