🎯 What: Reduced the express.json limit from 50mb to 5mb.
⚠️ Risk: An excessively large JSON payload limit (50MB) allows an attacker to send very large JSON objects, leading to excessive memory allocation and potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the Node.js server.
🛡️ Solution: Reduced the limit to a more reasonable size (5MB), which is still plenty for the expected payloads (text, HTML drafts, and configuration data) without exposing the application to easy resource exhaustion.
