Hi there! Thanks for opening this issue. We appreciate your contribution to this open-source project. We aim to respond or assign your issue as soon as possible.
Problem Statement:
Rate Limiting
Without rate limiting, the server is vulnerable to abuse, such as brute-force attacks, by allowing a single user or IP address to send a large number of requests in a short period, potentially leading to service disruption or denial of service.
Helmet
Helmet helps secure the server by setting various HTTP headers to protect against common vulnerabilities, such as XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), clickjacking, etc., reducing the risk of attacks and improving overall security posture.
NoSQL Injection Protection
Without proper protection, the server is susceptible to NoSQL injection attacks, where attackers manipulate input to access or modify data in the NoSQL database, potentially leading to data breaches or data corruption.
Describe the solution you'd like.
Solution
Rate Limiting
Implementing rate limiting ensures that each user or IP address can only send a certain number of requests within a specified time frame, mitigating the risk of abuse and ensuring fair usage of server resources.
Helmet
Integrating Helmet sets secure HTTP headers, such as X-XSS-Protection, Strict-Transport-Security, etc., which helps prevent various types of attacks, enhancing the overall security of the server.
NoSQL Injection Protection
By sanitizing and validating input, implementing prepared statements, and using ORM libraries with built-in protection, the server can prevent NoSQL injection attacks, safeguarding the integrity and confidentiality of data in the NoSQL database.
