CVE-2026-27695: zae-limiter: DynamoDB hot partition throttling enables per-entity Denial of Service

February 25, 2026

All rate limit buckets for a single entity share the same DynamoDB partition key (namespace/ENTITY#{id}). A high-traffic entity can exceed DynamoDB’s per-partition throughput limits (~1,000 WCU/sec), causing throttling that degrades service for that entity — and potentially co-located entities in the same partition.
