auth: fail closed on adminpass, scrub sample secrets (S3)
The master-password path (isAdmin = password === config.adminpass) logs in as any user, skipping password, 2FA, and captcha. Worse, when adminpass is unset an omitted password field made undefined === undefined true, authenticating as anyone. Require both the configured value and the supplied password to be non-empty and match exactly, across every adminpass comparison (login, recaptcha bypass, support email, freeze). Also scrub config.ts.sample: the sample shipped a working-looking JWT secret, two server nsec keys, and adminpass "pwa". Replace with fail-closed placeholders and regenerate instructions. Rotate any deployment that ever shipped the sample values. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
