[kira-offgrid]

Context and Purpose:

• Severity: MEDIUM
• File: backend/internal/certificate.js
• Lines Affected: 365 - 365

This change is necessary to protect the application from potential security risks associated with this vulnerability.

Solution Implemented:

The automated remediation process has applied the necessary changes to the affected code in backend/internal/certificate.js to resolve the identified issue.

Please review the changes to ensure they are correct and integrate as expected.
