Add a dedicated
express-rate-limitmiddleware for uploaded-file serving and apply it directly toGET /uploads/:filename.Best single fix:
server/server.js, define a limiter near the route declarations (just above the/uploads/:filenameroute is ideal).app.get('/uploads/:filename', uploadsRateLimiter, async (req, res) => { ... }).This addresses all three variants in one change because the same handler contains the DB access and both filesystem accesses.
