Summary
Fix high severity security issue in
server.js.Vulnerability
V-001server.js:49Description: The application exposes two public API endpoints (/api/health and /api/contact) without any rate limiting middleware. An attacker can send an unlimited number of requests to exhaust server resources, causing denial of service. The /api/contact endpoint is particularly vulnerable as it triggers email sending operations, which are resource-intensive and can be abused to spam the SMTP server or exhaust the application's connection pool.
Evidence
Exploitation scenario: An attacker uses a tool like Apache Bench or curl in a loop to send hundreds of requests per second to /api/contact.
Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
V-001flagged this pattern.Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
Threat Model Context
This is a web service - vulnerabilities in request handlers are directly exploitable by remote attackers.
Changes

The change is scoped to 2 files on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
