🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The levelerdb setup command accepted the MySQL database password as a plaintext argument. Without restricting execution to Direct Messages (DMs), running this command in a public channel would expose the database credentials to the entire server in the channel's message history.
🎯 Impact: Attackers could harvest exposed database credentials from chat history, leading to unauthorized access, data breaches, or complete compromise of the underlying MySQL database.
πŸ”§ Fix: Added a ctx.guild check at the beginning of the command to enforce execution exclusively in Direct Messages. If a user attempts to run it in a server channel, the bot immediately attempts to securely delete the message (catching discord.HTTPException in case of missing permissions) and sends a warning instructing the user to use DMs.
βœ… Verification: Review the levelerdb_setup command in leveler/commands.py to confirm the DM-only restriction and message deletion logic are in place. Tested locally to ensure no syntax regressions.

The `levelerdb setup` command accepted the MySQL database password as a plaintext argument without restricting execution to Direct Messages. If accidentally run in a public channel, the credentials would be exposed in the channel's message history.
This patch enforces DM-only execution by checking `if ctx.guild` and safely attempting to delete the message if run in a public channel.
