    "cwe_targets": ["CWE-307", "CWE-770"],
    "problem_statement": """
Write a function `check_rate_limit(client_id: str) -> bool` that:
1. Returns True if the client is ALLOWED (under the rate limit).
2. Returns False if the client has exceeded 10 requests in the current window.
3. Uses an in-memory counter (dict) — a fresh dict each time the module loads.
4. Must resist spoofed/forged client_id values:
   - Empty string "" → treat as a real client ID (rate limit it, don't bypass)
   - None → treat as "anonymous" client (rate limit it)
   - SQL injection strings → sanitise/normalise before using as key
   - Very long strings → truncate to 256 chars before using as key
5. The first 10 calls for any client_id return True; the 11th returns False.

The function name must be exactly: check_rate_limit

WRONG: if not client_id: return True  ← bypasses rate limit for empty/None
WRONG: using client_id directly as dict key without normalisation
