调研方向

从四个指定的 create action 开始:PublicFormsController#create、Events::PublicRegistrationsController#create、Events::BulkPaymentFormSubmissionsController#create 和 ContactUsController#create。为每个 endpoint 添加所述的 Rails 速率限制,然后在 development 中使用 memory cache 手动验证该限制;同时确认 request.remote_ip 在 production proxy 后方的行为正确。

由索引模型根据 Issue 内容生成。

描述

enhancement

Four endpoints accept unauthenticated POSTs and create records / send email. None are throttled — the only defence is a hidden honeypot field, which stops naive bots but nothing deliberate.

Endpoints

Endpoint Controller Creates
POST /f/:slug PublicFormsController#create Person, FormSubmission, 2 emails
POST /events/:event_id/public_registrations Events::PublicRegistrationsController#create Person, EventRegistration, FormSubmission, emails
POST /events/:event_id/bulk_payment_form_submissions Events::BulkPaymentFormSubmissionsController#create Person, FormSubmission, emails
POST /contact_us ContactUsController#create email

/f/:slug is the most exposed: it is always open, whereas the event endpoints are gated behind ensure_registerable.

Approach

Rails 8.1 ships ActionController::RateLimiting, so no new gem:

rate_limit to: 5, within: 1.minute, only: :create,
  with: -> { redirect_to public_form_path(@form.slug), alert: "Too many submissions — please wait a minute." }

Keys on request.remote_ip by default and scopes per controller.

Storage

Uses config.cache_store, which is already suitable in both real environments:

  • production — :solid_cache_store (DB-backed, so the counter is shared across processes)
  • development — :memory_store

Decided: no spec for the rate limit

Test env is :null_store, so increment no-ops and a limit never trips — it can't be spec'd without first changing the test cache store (stub Rails.cache, pass an explicit store:, or switch the env to :memory_store).

We are deliberately not doing that. Writing the spec means solving the cache-store question and adds roughly 15 minutes to every suite run for a one-line, framework-provided guard. Not worth it. Ship the rate_limit calls unspec'd and verify by hand in development (where :memory_store makes the limit live).

Revisit only if a future limit carries real logic in its by: or with: lambda.

Notes

  • Confirm request.remote_ip resolves correctly behind the production proxy before trusting per-IP keys.
  • Deliberately scoped as its own PR rather than folded into #2237: this is a cross-cutting policy that should cover all four endpoints at once.
