Potential fix for https://github.com/unitaryfoundation/metriq-api/security/code-scanning/24
To fix the issue, we will add rate limiting to the
accountController.update_passwordroute. We will use theexpress-rate-limitpackage to define a rate limiter and apply it specifically to this route. The rate limiter will restrict the number of requests a client can make to theupdate_passwordendpoint within a specified time window, mitigating the risk of brute-force or denial-of-service attacks.Steps:
express-rate-limitpackage if it is not already installed.express-rate-limitpackage in theapi-routes.jsfile.router.route('/user/password').post(accountController.update_password)route.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
