Fixed Flutterwave sdk: ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable missing, after creating a custom environmental variable and bootstraping.

[leonardosahon]

When a custom env variable is created, the bootstrap method was still trying to find the default env keys.

With this new addition, if a user has used the PackageConfig::setUp method already to set their custom env variables, bootstrap would not have assume self::$config is not set again.

Version: flutterwavedev/flutterwave-v3 : 1.0.6

This has already been done from my code.

🛠 Guidelines to remediate hardcoded secrets

1. Understand the implications of revoking this secret by investigating where it is used in your code.
2. Replace and store your secret safely. Learn here the best practices.
3. Revoke and rotate this secret.
4. If possible, rewrite git history. Rewriting git history is not a trivial act. You might completely break other contributing developers' workflow and you risk accidentally deleting legitimate data.

To avoid such incidents in the future consider

• following these best practices for managing and storing secrets including API keys and other credentials
• install secret detection on pre-commit to catch secret before it leaves your machine and ease remediation.

Hi @leonardosahon

if you are using composer, the implementation should work just fine.

use \Flutterwave\Flutterwave;

use \Flutterwave\Config\PackageConfig;

$myConfig = PackageConfig::setUp(
    'FLWSECK_TEST-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-X',
    'FLWPUBK_TEST-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-X',
    'FLWSECK_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
    'staging'
); 

Flutterwave::bootstrap($myConfig);

Unless you are calling Flutterwave::bootstrap() again before or after it.

Hi @leonardosahon

use \Flutterwave\Flutterwave;

use \Flutterwave\Config\PackageConfig;

$myConfig = PackageConfig::setUp(
    'FLWSECK_TEST-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-X',
    'FLWPUBK_TEST-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-X',
    'FLWSECK_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
    'staging'
); 

Flutterwave::bootstrap($myConfig);

Unless you are calling Flutterwave::bootstrap() again before or after it.

These are my environmental variables:

FLUTTERWAVE_PUBLIC_KEY
FLUTTERWAVE_SECRET_KEY
FLUTTERWAVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY

If you check the screenshot, immediately after here:

Flutterwave::bootstrap(
      PackageConfig::setUp(
          $_ENV['FLUTTERWAVE_SECRET_KEY'],
          $_ENV['FLUTTERWAVE_PUBLIC_KEY'],
          $_ENV['FLUTTERWAVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY'],
          LayConfig::$ENV_IS_DEV ? "staging" : "production",
      )
  );

The next thing is new PaymentController, which calls Flutterwave::bootstrap() again, this time with an empty parameter, thereby rendering $config empty, meanwhile self::$config contains a value already.

This new call attempts to go back to the .env file, meanwhile, the values have been supplied through the PackageConfig::setUp already.
