🟠 High: No Rate Limiting on Public Commands - DoS Vulnerability
Problem Description
There is no rate limiting on any public-facing commands. An attacker can:
- Spam
=games rps or =games tictactoe commands to exhaust database connections
- Create unlimited reminders via
=reminder create
- Flood channels with mirror links via
autolink
- Trigger expensive database writes repeatedly
The games.py RPSPlayView and TicTacToeView each create new database connections without pooling or limits.
Affected Commands
/games rps and /games tictactoe - database writes per game/reminder create - unlimited reminder creationautolink on_message handler - unlimited URL mirroring
Impact
- Denial of Service from resource exhaustion
- Database connection pool starvation
- Discord API rate limit violations
Recommended Fix
Implement rate limiting using Py-cord's built-in cooldown system:
@commands.cooldown(rate=5, per=60.0, type=commands.BucketType.user)
async def rps(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, opponent: discord.User = None):
