Vulnerabilities Addressed:

  • Potential DoS via large string inputs in ForceEnterPayload, DownloadDataPayload, etc.
  • Potential DoS via massive database queries (limit parameter abuse).
  • Brute-force mitigation bypass via cache flooding.
  • Missing browser security headers.

Verification:

  • New test file tests/rpc/test_security_enhancements.py verifies all fixes.
  • Existing RPC tests pass.

…abilities

This PR implements security enhancements to protect against DoS and Injection attacks:
1.  **Strict Input Validation**: Enforced `max_length` constraints on API payloads using Pydantic.
2.  **Rate Limit Hardening**: Increased login failure cache size to mitigate IP rotation attacks.
3.  **Auth Sanitization**: Added length checks for username/password to prevent processing massive auth payloads.
4.  **Resource Protection**: Capped API pagination limits (`le=1000`) to prevent database exhaustion.
5.  **Defense in Depth**: Added `X-XSS-Protection` header.

Includes regression tests in `tests/rpc/test_security_enhancements.py`.
