[Bug]: rateLimiter.js contains orphaned code that crashes the module on load #1458

Description

@vib3withsimran

Description

type: critical

server/middleware/rateLimiter.js contains an orphaned snippet at module top-level:

const compilerLimiter = rateLimit({ ... });

router.post('/execute', authenticateToken, compilerLimiter, async (req, res) => { ... });
router and authenticateToken are not defined anywhere in this file (or imported), so requiring this module throws ReferenceError: router is not defined . Since authRoutes.js and feedbackRoutes.js both require() this file, the bug can crash the server on startup or break auth endpoints.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '...'
  3. See error

Expected Behavior

  • rateLimiter.js should only define and export limiters.
  • The compilerLimiter is defined but never exported or used — either wire it into the execute route properly or delete it.

Actual Behavior

[ ] Server boots without ReferenceError
[ ] compilerLimiter either removed or actually applied in the execute route

Environment

  • OS: [e.g. Windows 11, macOS 14]
  • Browser: [e.g. Chrome 124, Firefox 125]
  • Node.js: [e.g. 18.17.0]
