Context

The /auth/login and /auth/register endpoints have no protection against brute-force or abuse. An attacker can make unlimited attempts without any throttling.

Task

  • Add rate limiting middleware to the FastAPI app (e.g. slowapi or a custom Redis-backed solution)
  • Apply limits to /auth/login (e.g. 10 requests/minute per IP) and /auth/register (e.g. 5 requests/minute per IP)
  • Return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header when limits are exceeded
  • Make the limits configurable via environment variables (AUTH_RATE_LIMIT_LOGIN, AUTH_RATE_LIMIT_REGISTER)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Exceeding the login rate limit returns HTTP 429
  • Exceeding the register rate limit returns HTTP 429
  • Rate limit thresholds are configurable via env vars
  • A test verifies that the rate limit is triggered correctly

Already implemented on main. slowapi rate limiter in api.py with @limiter.limit("10/minute") on login and @limiter.limit("5/minute") on register. 429 handler returns Retry-After header. Tests in tests/test_rate_limit.py verify threshold and header. All acceptance criteria met. Closing.
