Hello DNN Community,

We are currently using DNN version 9.11.2, and Git Guardian has flagged a vulnerability related to a Generic High Entropy Secret in our application. Specifically, the issue pertains to the PrivateKey in the Portals/_default/EventQueue/EventQueue.config file, as shown below:

      9b5e75ae-f7d3-4c53-a01f-fa073762dd4c
      DNN Core
     


     
      4A9ED374D61A582BB9EF939AF1C04100
   


Could anyone provide guidance on how we can fix the value of this token or if there is a recommended process for rotating this secret to remediate the issue? Your expertise and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help!
