The current implementation adds the funds in flight to the miner fees (so that the receiver is not incentivised to close the channel), but he can still make the other side lose money (the the reason can be nonmonetary). And multiple small payments can pass through a node.
We can lower the value of
max_accepted_htlcs to prevent flooding of a node with HTLCs.
Also the bad actor will have to keep opening new channels to make others lose money. And opening channels incurs an on-chain fee. So the bad actor has no monetary gain out of it, it actually costs them sats too.But I do agree that this is a theoretical problem
