Background

/auth/login and /auth/register have no rate limiting, making them vulnerable to brute-force password guessing and registration abuse.

What to do

  1. Add a rate limiting middleware or dependency (e.g., slowapi for FastAPI)
  2. Apply per-IP limits to /auth/login (e.g., 10 requests/minute) and /auth/register (e.g., 5 requests/minute)
  3. Return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header when the limit is exceeded
  4. Make the rate limit thresholds configurable via environment variables
  5. Write tests that confirm 429 is returned after the threshold is exceeded

Acceptance criteria

  • Rapid repeated login attempts from one IP receive HTTP 429
  • Rate limit values are configurable without code changes
  • Tests cover the rate-limiting behavior
  • Legitimate traffic under the limit is unaffected
