| Summary | 0008999: Set limits to all variable size user inputs | ||||
| Description | Currently, all strings in all APIs are unsized and libeufin-bank accepts strings of any size. As libeufin-bank uses a very restrictive maximum size (4kB) on all decompressed bodies, this is not a serious security issue. However, it would be healthier to set reasonable limits on all variable-length entries such as wire transfer's subject, bearer token's description, account's name, account's username and so on. Do we want to put those limits inside the API specification, if not how can we communicate those limits to clients? | ||||

I think it is fine to put them into the API specification. |

As we already have a very restrictive body limit, it only makes sense to limit the size of user input that ends up in URLs and that is only the case for the account username. FIxed in 112e39a988b663a56d13f63d4c6d60ed53b22264 |
