From 2dd1e471532deca03fd0077135fa43f34dd03a87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2026 18:36:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): Address critical security and performance issues MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Security Fixes: - Remove blinding factor from Commitment struct (was leaking secrets) - Add per-installation unique salt for key derivation (was hardcoded) - Add prominent security warnings to zkproofs.rs (demo-only crypto) - Document that ZK implementation is for API demonstration only Performance Fixes: - Fix memory leak: category_embeddings now uses HashMap instead of Vec - Add LRU-style eviction at 10k embeddings capacity - Prevents unbounded memory growth that would crash browser Code Quality: - Add max_embeddings configuration option - Better documentation for data structures - Add security audit report and optimization guides ⚠️ IMPORTANT: The ZK proof cryptography is simplified for demonstration. For production use, replace with bulletproofs, curve25519-dalek, merlin crates. --- benches/plaid_performance.rs | 575 ++++++++ docs/plaid-bottleneck-summary.md | 414 ++++++
