Fix: JWT Token Replay Vulnerability
Resolves#2088
Description
This PR addresses a high-risk security vulnerability where JWT tokens remained valid on the server even after explicit user logout, allowing potential session hijacking and token replay attacks.
Code Changes
backend/src/controllers/user.controller.js: During logout, the access token is now intercepted and explicitly written to a stateful Redis blacklist (setex blacklist:<token> <TTL> true). The TTL matches the token's remaining time to naturally expire, preventing unbounded memory growth in Redis.backend/src/middlewares/auth.middleware.js: Added a verification step immediately following token signature validation. The middleware now queries Redis; if the JWT token is present in the blacklist, the request is immediately rejected with a401 Unauthorized.Verification
