google-labs-jules[bot]andPR0M3TH3AN c275b452be security: bind dashboard server to 127.0.0.1
Explicitly bind the dashboard server to the local loopback interface
to prevent external access. This addresses a vulnerability where
the server was binding to all network interfaces by default.

Secure Dashboard Binding

  • Context: Hardening the local dashboard server.
  • Observation: Default server.listen(port) in Node.js binds to all interfaces (0.0.0.0), exposing the tool to the local network.
  • Action taken: Explicitly added '127.0.0.1' as the hostname argument to server.listen.
  • Validation performed: Verified code change with grep.
  • Recommendation for next agents: Always specify '127.0.0.1' for servers intended only for local use.
