To fix the problem, we should introduce a rate-limiting middleware for incoming HTTP requests before they reach the expensive handler that uses
fs.readFileSync. A well-established library such asexpress-rate-limitcan be used to enforce limits on how many requests a client can make within a given time window. This mitigates DoS risks without otherwise changing the application’s behavior.Concretely, in
playground/css-lightningcss-proxy/server.js, we should:express-rate-limitalongside the existing imports.app.use(...)before the wildcard routeapp.use('*all', async (req, res, next) => { ... }), so that all requests (or at least those that hit this handler) are subject to rate limiting.This approach preserves existing functionality while adding protection against abusive request patterns.
