fix: the express application does not implement any ... in server.js

[anupamme]

Summary

Fix high severity security issue in src/server.js.

Vulnerability

Field	Value
ID	V-001
Severity	HIGH
Scanner	multi_agent_ai
Rule	V-001
File	src/server.js:1
Assessment	Likely exploitable

Description: The Express application does not implement any rate limiting middleware, allowing unlimited requests to all 100+ API endpoints. This exposes the application to denial of service attacks and resource exhaustion.

Evidence

Exploitation scenario: An attacker can use automated tools to flood any endpoint with high-volume requests, exhausting server CPU, memory, and database connections.

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-001 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Threat Model Context

This is a web service - vulnerabilities in request handlers are directly exploitable by remote attackers.

Changes

• src/server.js
• package.json

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 2 files on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
