🚨 **Severity:** CRITICAL 💡 **Vulnerability:** Hardcoded fallback credentials and encryption key in `src/main/resources/configuration.properties`. 🎯 **Impact:** If the application is run without the necessary environment variables, it falls back to weak, publicly known credentials, creating a significant security risk. 🔧 **Fix:** Removed the fallback values from the configuration file. The application will now fail to start if the environment variables for `DB_USERNAME`, `DB_PASSWORD`, and `ENCRYPTION_KEY` are not provided. This enforces a "fail-secure" posture. ✅ **Verification:** - Read `src/main/resources/configuration.properties` to confirm the removal of default values. - Updated `README.md` to reflect the new configuration requirements. - The `mvn test` command failed due to an unrelated authentication issue with a private dependency, but the change itself is a standard security practice and is low-risk.

This pull request addresses a critical security vulnerability by removing hardcoded fallback credentials from the
configuration.propertiesfile. By eliminating these default values, the application is now forced to rely on environment variables for sensitive information, adopting a "fail-secure" approach. This change significantly improves the security posture of the application by preventing it from running with weak, publicly known credentials.PR created automatically by Jules for task 6971884513642126337 started by @richkmeli
