Important: The system was not generating the unique APP_KEY in the environment which makes your system vulnerable to expose sensitive data due to a hardcoded encryption key. This can simply be fixed by generating your own Laravel APP_KEY using Laravel's artisan commands.
Faveo also introduced its own artisan command to alter the APP_KEY to replace your old key with the new key. The advantage of this command is it allows you to update the application's key and updates the required encrypted data in the system so you do not need to update configurations in the system manually. But we still recommend you update system configurations manually to minimize the possibility of attacks on your data. You can use this command from your Faveo root directory as below
php artisan faveo:secure-key
NOTE: This security patch requires all agents and admin to login and start their session again. Also, all the old encrypted URLs will be reset and will not work any longer.
Follow this Upgrade Guide to update your system. This update does not require any database update. After the update, we highly recommend running the below commands to secure your Faveo system.
php artisan key:generate or php artisan faveo:secure-key

- Updates symfony/http-foundation to 4.4.1

Issue Reported by: @n3zsistemas
