Waleed 31bfcdd640 fix(auth): rate limit the password reset endpoints (#6553)
`/api/auth/forget-password` calls `auth.api.requestPasswordReset` without
headers, which bypasses Better Auth's rate limiter entirely — that limiter
lives in the HTTP router, not the endpoint. The route was an unthrottled
email-send amplifier keyed on any address a caller chose.

Add two dimensions via the existing route-helper family: a per-IP budget
before parsing (cheap pre-parse gate), and a per-recipient budget, since no
per-IP limit can stop a distributed attempt to bomb one mailbox. The recipient
key is normalized and hashed, so the bucket store never holds an address and
long inputs cannot inflate key cardinality. It is enforced before any user
lookup and identically whether or not the account exists, so a 429 is not an
account-existence oracle.

Also throttle `/api/auth/reset-password`, which had none and is an online
token-guessing surface.

Passing headers to `auth.api.*` is deliberately not the fix: Better Auth's
limiter throws an APIError that these routes' catch blocks project as a 500,
and it cannot express the per-recipient dimension.

Sim — Integrate, Context, Build, and Monitor AI agents

A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Open sim.ai

Self-hosted

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun install
bun run setup

Open http://localhost:3000

The Sim platform — chat on the left, the visual workflow builder on the right

Capabilities

  • Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
  • Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
  • Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
  • Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
  • Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity

One workspace, every surface

Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, and knowledge all live in the same workspace.

Tables in Sim — structured data your agents can query

Tables — a database, built in

Files in Sim — documents for your team and every agent

Files — one store for your team and every agent

Knowledge bases in Sim — synced docs your agents can search

Knowledge — your agents' memory

Self-hosting

Requirements: Bun and Docker.

bun run setup is an interactive wizard: it provisions the database, generates secrets, writes your .env files, connects a Chat API key, and starts Sim the way you choose:

  • Local dev — run from source to contribute or hack on Sim
  • Docker Compose — a self-contained instance for testing self-hosting
  • Kubernetes (Helm) — deploy to a local cluster

When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000.

Reconfigure an optional capability without rerunning the full wizard:

bun run setup status
bun run setup email
bun run setup storage
bun run setup sandbox
bun run setup jobs
bun run setup cache
bun run setup knowledge
bun run setup llm
bun run setup integration slack

bun run setup status detects the effective local-dev, Docker Compose, or current-context Helm configuration and reports configured, missing, or invalid capabilities and OAuth integrations without printing credential values. This is separate from bun run sim status, which reports whether installed services are running and healthy.

Manage your install with bun run sim:

bun run sim start | stop | restart   # bring your install up / down / cycle
bun run sim update                   # pull/rebuild and apply Compose images
bun run sim status                    # what's installed and healthy
bun run sim logs                      # follow logs
bun run sim doctor                    # diagnose configuration problems
bun run sim down                      # remove containers (data kept)
bun run sim reset                     # archive .env and wipe managed data

sim detects how you're running (Docker Compose, local dev, or Kubernetes) and acts accordingly.

Prefer a bare sim? Run bun link once — but note sim lands in ~/.bun/bin, which Homebrew's bun doesn't add to your PATH, so you may need export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" in your shell profile.

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the self-hosting docs for details.

Chat API Keys

Chat is a Sim-managed service. bun run setup connects a Chat API key for you — sign in when it opens your browser and the key is stored automatically. To view, create, or revoke keys later, go to sim.ai/selfhost/settings/chat-keys.

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
