🔒 Security fix: Replace weak SHA-1 hash with SHA-256 - #166
Conversation
🎯 **What:** Replaced the use of the `hashlib.sha1` hashing algorithm with `hashlib.sha256` in `_unique_id`.⚠️ **Risk:** MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms are considered cryptographically weak and are vulnerable to collision attacks, which could theoretically allow attackers to craft inputs resulting in the same identifier. 🛡️ **Solution:** Replaced `hashlib.sha1` with `hashlib.sha256`, which is a modern, cryptographically secure hash function. Retained the 8-character string truncation for backwards compatibility and identical format length.
