AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, consider implementing external rate limiting or resource controls to mitigate the risk of denial-of-service caused by repeated invalid authentication requests.
Description
The Magic Link authentication flow has a vulnerability where it accepts multiple invalid authentication requests without sufficient rate limiting or resource control. This can cause uncontrolled memory usage growth, potentially leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The impact is limited to deployments using the Magic Link authenticator and requires repeated invalid attempts to exploit.
