Critical Security Vulnerability - Hardcoded API URL and Missing Environment Configuration

[Community-Programmer]

Description:
The authService.ts and other API-related files currently contain hardcoded localhost URLs. This causes deployment issues and poses a potential security risk.

Impact:

• Security Risk: Exposes backend architecture details
• Deployment Failure: Application won’t work in production or staging environments
• Configuration Issue: No environment-based configuration support
• CORS Problems: Hardcoded localhost breaks deployed apps

Fix Required:

• Create proper environment variable configuration
• Add .env file support with VITE_API_BASE_URL
• Update all API service files to reference import.meta.env.VITE_API_BASE_URL instead of hardcoded URLs
