## 🔐 Authentication Security
|
|
|
|
### Rate Limiting Implementation

|
|
|
**Impact**: Prevent brute force attacks
|
|
**Current**: No rate limiting on auth endpoints
|
|
**Priority**: 🟡 Medium
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Install rate limiting middleware (`express-rate-limit` or similar)**
|
|
- [ ] **Add rate limiting to `/api/auth/login` (5 attempts/5min)**
|
|
- [ ] **Add rate limiting to `/api/auth/register` (3 attempts/hour)**
|
|
- [ ] **Add rate limiting to `/api/auth/refresh` (10 attempts/5min)**
|
|
- [ ] **Implement progressive delays for repeated failures**
|
|
- [ ] **Add IP-based and user-based rate limiting**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// ADD TO lib/rate-limit.ts:
|
|
import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit'
|
|
|
|
export const authRateLimit = rateLimit({
|
|
windowMs: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes
|
|
max: 5, // 5 attempts per window
|
|
message: { error: 'Too many login attempts, try again later' },
|
|
standardHeaders: true,
|
|
legacyHeaders: false,
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Password Security Enhancement

const passwordSchema = z
|
|
.string()
|
|
.min(8, 'Password must be at least 8 characters')
|
|
.regex(/[A-Z]/, 'Password must contain at least one uppercase letter')
|
|
.regex(/[0-9]/, 'Password must contain at least one number')
|
|
.regex(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/, 'Password must contain at least one special character')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Email Verification System

|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
