🎯 What: Added brute-force protection to the adminAuthMiddleware.
⚠️ Risk: Without rate limiting, an attacker could continuously attempt different tokens against admin endpoints, potentially leading to unauthorized access and causing unnecessary server load.
🛡️ Solution: Integrated the existing isRateLimited and recordFailedAttempt functions from tokenAuthMiddleware into adminAuthMiddleware to reject requests with a 429 status code if the IP exceeds the allowed number of failed attempts. Failed attempts are recorded on any 401 response. A comprehensive unit test was added to verify the new rate limiting behavior.
