Potential fix for https://github.com/unitaryfoundation/metriq-api/security/code-scanning/23
To address the issue, we will implement rate limiting specifically for the
loginroute using theexpress-rate-limitpackage. This will restrict the number of login attempts a client can make within a specified time window, mitigating the risk of brute-force attacks and DoS attacks. The rate limiter will be configured to allow a maximum of 5 login attempts per minute for each client IP address.Steps to fix:
express-rate-limitpackage if it is not already installed.express-rate-limitpackage in theapi-routes.jsfile.loginroute.loginroute.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
