⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Security: Avoid logging sensitive errors to console.

console.error(error) may log sensitive information (passwords, tokens, database connection strings) to server logs. In production, this could expose sensitive data.

🔎 Log safely without exposing details
  } catch (error) {
-    console.error(error);
+    console.error('Login error:', error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error');
    return NextResponse.json(
      { message: 'Internal server error' },
      { status: 500 }
    );
  }

For detailed debugging, use a structured logging library that can filter sensitive fields.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Login error:', error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error');
    return NextResponse.json(
      { message: 'Internal server error' },
      { status: 500 }
    );
  }

In @app/api/auth/login/route.ts around lines 66-72, The catch block in the login
route currently calls console.error(error) which can leak sensitive data;
replace this with a safe logging approach in the catch of your login handler
(the try/catch around NextResponse.json) by using your app's structured logger
(or Next.js logger) and log a non-sensitive message plus a sanitized error id or
trimmed error code only, or omit logging the full error object; ensure you do
not print request body/token values and, if you need detailed diagnostics,
sanitize fields before logging or store full error details in a secure internal
error store and return a generic 500 response via NextResponse.json as currently
done.
