🛡️ Security: Add input validation, sanitization, and rate limiting #3

Description

@ManvithGopu13

Security Vulnerabilities

Issues:

  1. No input validation

    • Prompt length not validated (could cause memory issues)
    • No sanitization of user inputs
    • Model parameter not validated against whitelist
  2. No rate limiting

    • API endpoints vulnerable to abuse/DoS
    • No protection against resource exhaustion
  3. No file size limits

    • Base64 responses could be extremely large
    • No validation of output file sizes before encoding
  4. Path traversal risk

    • Output directory not properly validated
    • Could potentially write outside intended directory

Recommended Fixes:

  • Add prompt length validation (max 1000-2000 characters)
  • Implement rate limiting using flask-limiter
  • Add file size checks before base64 encoding
  • Validate and sanitize output directory paths
  • Whitelist allowed model names
  • Add request timeout handling

Priority: High
Type: Security
