The Soulmate
contains potential vulnerabilities related to the handling of messages in the shared space. Two main issues have been identified: the lack of persistence for message history and the absence of limits on the number of messages a user can write.
The current implementation overwrites the existing message in the shared space on each new request, resulting in a lack of message history.
Also, there is no restriction on the number of messages a user can write in the shared space, potentially leading to abuse and spam.
Lack of Message Persistence:
Severity: Moderate
Consequence: Users may lose access to or reference previous messages, limiting the collaborative and interactive features of the shared space.
Unlimited Message Writing:
Severity: Moderate
Consequence: Malicious users could flood the shared space with an unlimited number of messages, impacting usability and readability.

Message History Preservation:
Recommendation: Modify the writeMessageInSharedSpace
function to append new messages to the existing content in the shared space, allowing for the preservation of message history.
Example:
Limit on Message Writing:
Recommendation: Implement limitations on the frequency or volume of messages a user can write in the shared space to prevent abuse and maintain a manageable shared space.
