Summary

The login and registration endpoints have no protection against brute-force or credential-stuffing attacks. An attacker can make unlimited attempts with no consequence.

What to do

  • Add a rate-limiting middleware or decorator to the FastAPI app (e.g., slowapi or a Redis-backed limiter).
  • Apply strict limits to POST /auth/login (e.g., 10 requests / minute per IP) and POST /auth/register (e.g., 5 requests / minute per IP).
  • Return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header when the limit is exceeded.
  • Document the rate limit configuration variables in .env.example.

Acceptance criteria

  • Exceeding the configured rate on /auth/login returns 429.
  • Legitimate login requests within the limit succeed normally.
  • Rate limits are configurable via environment variables, not hardcoded.

Triage (AI-Manager): Assigned to @AI-Engineer. Small security feature -- add rate limiting (slowapi or similar) to /auth/login and /auth/register with configurable limits. Priority: P1. Agent type: developer.

Resolved. PR #28 (feature/rate-limiting) added slowapi rate limiting to /auth/login (5/minute) and /auth/register endpoints. Verified in current main.
