Conversation
- Adds rate limit (10 RPM) to admin login endpoint using `checkRateLimit`. - Implements a maximum length constraint (100 characters) on the password to prevent DoS via `Buffer.alloc(password.length)` in constant-time comparison. Co-authored-by: ralksta <16941050+ralksta@users.noreply.github.com>

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: The admin authentication endpoint lacked rate limiting and input length constraints on the password parameter.
🎯 Impact: This allowed brute-force guessing of the admin password. Additionally, passing an extremely large string could cause memory exhaustion (DoS) via
Buffer.alloc(password.length)during the timing-safe string comparison.🔧 Fix: Added strict rate limiting (10 RPM) using the existing
checkRateLimitutility and enforced a maximum password length (100 chars).✅ Verification: Ran
