🛡️ Automated Security Fix

Vulnerability Fixed:

• File: src\components\AddProductPopup\AddProductPopup.jsx
• Line: 61
• Type: code_quality
• Severity: Low
• Description: Remove console.log in production

Fix Summary:
The console.log and console.error statements, intended for debugging, were active in production builds. The fix wraps these statements in a condition that checks if the environment is development, effectively removing them from production. This prevents potential information leakage while preserving debugging capabilities for developers.

Changes Made:

• Wrapped all console.log and console.error calls in a conditional check (if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development')) to prevent them from executing in production.
• This practice avoids leaking potentially sensitive application state or API data in a production environment, adhering to OWASP guidelines for secure configuration.

Security Impact:
Resolves the code_quality issue by removing debug logs from production. This mitigates the risk of information disclosure (OWASP A01:2021 - Broken Access Control, through revealing internal logic) and aligns with OWASP A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration by ensuring development artifacts are not exposed.

Code Changes Preview:

-       console.log('AddProductPopup: Starting API request');
+       if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
-       console.log('AddProductPopup: Request payload:', {
+         console.log('AddProductPopup: Starting API request');
-         link: productLink,
+         console.log('AddProductPopup: Request payload:', {
-         platform: platform
+           link: productLink,
-       });
+           platform: platform
-       
+         });
-       const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE_URL}/add_to_tracker`, {
+       }
-         method: 'POST',
+       
-         headers: {
+       const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE_URL}/add_to_tracker`, {
-           'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+         method: 'POST',
