@anupamme Thanks for working on this security improvement. The intent is correct, but I don’t think this implementation is safe to merge yet. The main concern is that Workers KV is not suitable for a high-frequency per-IP counter. Rapid consecutive uploads can cause multiple writes to the same key, which may fail or produce inaccurate counts because the read-update-write flow is not atomic. Also, the current 60-second TTL logic does not behave like a true “20 uploads per minute” limit. Since the TTL is refreshed after every upload, even a user uploading slowly could eventually hit the limit. So for now, I’m not merging this PR. Let’s both look for a better rate-limiting approach and work on a safer solution. Thank you again for pointing out this important security issue and helping improve Markdown Viewer. |
Summary
Fix high severity security issue in
functions/api/image/[[id]].js.Vulnerability
V-001functions/api/image/[[id]].js:1Description: API endpoints for image upload, share creation, and live room WebSocket operations lack rate limiting controls. An attacker can send unlimited requests, exhausting Cloudflare Worker CPU time limits (50ms per request), KV storage quotas, or causing service degradation for legitimate users.
Evidence
Exploitation scenario: Attacker sends automated high-volume requests to /api/image/ or /api/share/ endpoints.
Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
V-001flagged this pattern.Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
Threat Model Context
This API endpoint appears to be publicly accessible. This is a private Node.js application (not published to npm). Vulnerabilities affect this application's own runtime only.
Changes
functions/api/image/[[id]].jsBehavior Preservation
The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
