Login Rate Limit Check — Can Your Auth Endpoints Be Sprayed?
DevMeth checks the 48 known AI-code failure patterns — not a penetration test or a security guarantee.
What the issue is
Login and signup endpoints with no rate limiting can be hammered with unlimited guesses, enabling brute-force and credential-spraying attacks against your users.
Why AI tools generate it
AI tools often skip rate limiting entirely to keep scaffolding simple, leaving auth endpoints wide open to repeated automated attempts.
How DevMeth detects it
A code scan checks whether your auth endpoints use a rate limiter, per-route middleware, or a proxy rule; the check reports the absence as a finding.
Login and signup endpoints have no rate limiting
WHAT WE FOUND
app/api/login/route.ts — no rate limiter present
The fix, in three steps
Add rate limiting to every auth endpoint using a proven limiter library or proxy rule, so repeated attempts get throttled. Three steps.
Run a free scan and each finding carries a paste-ready fix prompt you can act on.
