From ad9b9b9b78861b4d73d427ec3b315fb606c46c0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "glm-5.1" Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 14:00:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(rate_limit): use ConnectInfo as sole IP source, reject without it The rate limiter previously extracted client IP from the X-Forwarded-For header first, falling back to ConnectInfo. This allowed attackers to bypass rate limits by sending spoofed X-Forwarded-For headers. Per ADR-025, the rate limiter now uses ConnectInfo exclusively and rejects requests with 429 when ConnectInfo is absent. --- src/rate_limit/mod.rs | 20 ++++---------------- tests/integration_test.rs | 14 +++++--------- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/rate_limit/mod.rs b/src/rate_limit/mod.rs index f80fc18..576f2ac 100644 --- a/src/rate_limit/mod.rs +++ b/src/rate_limit/mod.rs @@ -64,24 +64,12 @@ pub async fn rate_limit_middleware( next: Next, ) -> axum::response::Response { let client_ip = req - .headers() - .get("x-forwarded-for") - .and_then(|v| v.to_str().ok()) - .and_then(|v| v.split(',').next()) - .and_then(|v| v.trim().parse::().ok()) - .or_else(|| { - req.extensions() - .get::>() - .map(|ci| ci.ip()) - }); + .extensions() + .get::>() + .map(|ci| ci.ip()); let Some(ip) = client_ip else { - // If no client IP can be identified, the request passes through without rate - // limiting.
