1-Click Fix Prompt for Cursor & Claude Code
Review my codebase for "Maximum Request Payload Size Limits Enforced" (INJ-008). Issue: AI route handlers do not specify body size limits, exposing serverless workers to memory exhaustion and denial-of-service. Remediation required: Enforce body parser limits (e.g. 1MB for JSON, 5MB for images) on all upload and webhook endpoints. Please: 1. Locate any occurrences of this issue across my repository. 2. Refactor the code to follow production standards without breaking existing functionality. 3. Provide a clear command or step to test and verify the fix.
Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
AI route handlers do not specify body size limits, exposing serverless workers to memory exhaustion and denial-of-service.
AI code generation prioritizes immediate syntax execution over production edge cases. When an assistant hits an undefined variable or strict type error, it frequently takes the path of least resistance rather than implementing standard pre-launch security patterns.
