Summary
No IP-based abuse detection exists. The system cannot identify requests from known proxy/VPN ranges, bot infrastructure, or geographically impossible patterns.
Recommendation
IP Reputation
Integrate an IP reputation service to score incoming requests:
- MaxMind GeoIP2 — geo lookup + anonymous proxy detection
- IPQualityScore — fraud scoring, bot detection, VPN/proxy/Tor detection
- AbuseIPDB — community-reported malicious IPs
Implementation
Add middleware that:
- Looks up IP reputation on first request (cache result for 1 hour)
- Assigns a risk modifier to the session
- High-risk IPs get additional friction (CAPTCHA, stricter rate limits)
- Known bot infrastructure IPs get blocked
Geo Restrictions (Optional)
