How to fix

Restrict WebSocket connections to authenticated and registered members only; verify sender identity matches connection identity before processing messages; implement per-session and per-connection rate limits and message size caps; require authentication, specific comm_id, and pagination for /fetch_chat_record calls.

Technical details

The Message Handler component in im_server/app.py fails to authenticate WebSocket connections or verify sender membership before accepting messages; any unauthenticated client can send messages to any session (comm_id) without rate or size limits. Additionally, the /fetch_chat_record endpoint accepts comm_id=None and returns the entire chat database without authentication or pagination, disclosing all recorded conversations and AI outputs.
