- Add `rateLimitMap` to `ServerState` in `src/api/server.ts`. - Implement `checkRateLimit` helper function. - Initialize rate limit map and cleanup interval in `startApiServer`. - Apply rate limiting to `/api/cloud/login`, `/api/wallet/export`, `/api/agent/reset`, `/api/agent/export`, and `/api/agent/import`. - Add unit tests in `src/api/server.rate-limit.test.ts`. This mitigates DoS and brute-force risks on sensitive operations.

Summary of ChangesHello @Dexploarer, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request significantly enhances the security of the application by introducing robust rate limiting to several sensitive API endpoints. By implementing a generic, in-memory rate limiter and applying it to critical operations like agent management, wallet export, and cloud login, the changes effectively mitigate the risk of brute-force attacks and Denial of Service (DoS). This proactive measure strengthens the system's resilience against malicious or excessive requests. Highlights

Fail-open behavior for missing rateLimitMap may mask initialization errors
The test on lines 111-115 checks that checkRateLimit returns true if rateLimitMap is missing from the state. While this ensures the function does not throw, it may mask underlying issues in production if the state is not properly initialized. Consider updating the implementation to throw an error or ensure the map is always present, rather than silently allowing requests:
if (!state.rateLimitMap) throw new Error('rateLimitMap missing');This would make failures explicit and easier to debug.

Code Review
This pull request introduces a generic in-memory rate limiter to protect sensitive administrative and security-related endpoints from brute-force attacks and potential Denial of Service (DoS). The implementation includes a tracking map in the server state, a periodic cleanup mechanism to manage memory, and targeted application of limits to critical routes such as agent reset, export/import, wallet export, and cloud login. Overall, the logic is sound and follows a standard fixed-window approach, which is appropriate for this use case. My feedback focuses on improving the robustness of client identification and enhancing code maintainability through constants.

While req.socket.remoteAddress is a standard way to identify clients, it will return the IP of the proxy if the server is deployed behind a reverse proxy (like Nginx or a load balancer). This can lead to all users behind that proxy sharing the same rate limit bucket. Consider checking for x-forwarded-for headers if the server is configured to trust proxies.

🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Add rate limiting to sensitive endpoints
Vulnerability: Missing rate limiting on sensitive endpoints (e.g., wallet export, agent reset, cloud login) allowed for potential brute-force attacks or Denial of Service (DoS).
Fix:
checkRateLimit).rateLimitMapto the server state with automatic cleanup every 5 seconds./api/cloud/login: 5 requests per minute./api/wallet/export: 5 requests per minute./api/agent/reset: 1 request per minute./api/agent/export: 5 requests per minute./api/agent/import: 5 requests per minute.Verification:
src/api/server.rate-limit.test.tsto verify the rate limiting logic (allow, block, reset).src/api/server.test.ts.Impact: significantly reduces the risk of abuse on critical administrative endpoints.
