Treat disabled-account PINs like any other wrong PIN - #44
Conversation
A PIN matching a disabled store user returned a distinct 403 before any failure counter was incremented, so an attacker could confirm which PINs belong to real accounts without being throttled. It now counts as a failure and returns the same 401 and message; the audit log still records DISABLED_USER with the account.

This test checks the IP and global counters, but not the session counter. The existing session-threshold test uses only wrong PINs, so a regression that skips session counting only for disabled PINs can pass both tests.

Nitpick fixed in the latest commit: the disabled-PIN test now also asserts the session failure counter (verified it fails if the session increment is skipped). Generated by Claude Code |

Problem
A PIN that matched a disabled store user returned a distinct
403 "Your account has been disabled"before any failure counter was incremented. An attacker could therefore confirm which PINs belong to real accounts without being throttled, and learn those PINs for when the account is re-enabled.Changes
DISABLED_USERwith the account name, so admins keep the visibility.Behaviour change
Legitimately disabled users now see "Invalid PIN" instead of "Your account has been disabled. Contact the administrator." This is the point of the change, but say so if you'd rather keep the friendlier message and accept the oracle.
Tests
tests/test_disabled_pin.py: identical status/message and counters incremented; audit entry carries the account name. Full suite passes (110),ruffclean.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
