🚨 Severity: CRITICAL

πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The levelerdb setup command in the leveler cog accepts a database password as a plaintext argument. If this command is run in a public server channel, it exposes the credentials to all members and permanently logs them in Discord's message history.

🎯 Impact: Unauthorized users or attackers in the server could obtain the database credentials and compromise the backend MySQL database.

πŸ”§ Fix: Added a ctx.guild check to the levelerdb setup command. If the command is executed in a server channel, the bot attempts to delete the message (to hide the credentials) and returns an error instructing the user to run the command in Direct Messages (DMs).

βœ… Verification:

  1. Attempt to run [p]levelerdb setup localhost user password db 3306 in a server channel. The bot should delete the message and respond with an error.
  2. Attempt to run the same command in the bot's DMs. The command should execute successfully and update the configuration.

Commands accepting sensitive information like database passwords as plaintext arguments must be restricted to Direct Messages (DMs) to prevent credential leakage in public server channels.
