Context

Roadmap item: P1 Error handling and resilience

/auth/login and /auth/register are currently unprotected against brute-force attacks and credential stuffing. A motivated attacker can make unlimited attempts with no penalty.

What to do

  1. Add a rate-limiting middleware or decorator to the FastAPI app (e.g. using slowapi or fastapi-limiter).
  2. Apply a strict limit to /auth/login (e.g. 10 requests per minute per IP) and /auth/register (e.g. 5 requests per minute per IP).
  3. Return 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header when the limit is exceeded.
  4. Add the chosen library to requirements.txt.
  5. Write a test that verifies the 429 response is returned after exceeding the limit.

Acceptance criteria

  • Exceeding the login rate limit returns HTTP 429.
  • Rate limit resets after the configured window.
  • Test coverage included.

Resolved -- already implemented in the codebase.

api.py uses slowapi's @limiter.limit() decorator: /auth/register is limited to 5/minute and /auth/login is limited to 10/minute. The rate limiter is already fully configured.

Closing as already resolved.
