🟠 No brute-force protection on delivery code verification endpoint — 900,000 combinations are enumerable

Severity: major Domain: Delivery Labels: security, bug, backend, major, brute-force

Description

The 6-digit delivery code verify endpoint (routes.ts lines 2790-2847) has no rate limiting, lockout counter, or attempt count maximum. Failed attempts are recorded to deliveryInfo.deliveryAttempts[] but no enforcement exists. A malicious actor could attempt all 900,000 combinations without being blocked.

Current Behavior

Unlimited guesses are permitted. No rate limiting or lockout is applied to the verify endpoint.

Expected Behavior

After N failed attempts (e.g., 5), the endpoint should return 429 or lock the code for a period. The deliveryAttempts[] array already tracks attempts — enforcement just needs to be added.
