AI-suggested

Upgrade NornicDB to version 1.0.42-hotfix or later, where the Bolt server listener correctly respects the configured address and does not bind to all interfaces by default. This patch effectively mitigates the exposure of the database with default credentials on the network. Until upgraded, restrict network access to the Bolt server interface to trusted hosts only.

Description

Nornicdb is a distributed low-latency, Graph+Vector, Temporal MVCC with all sub-ms HNSW search, graph traversal, and writes. Prior to version 1.0.42-hotfix, the --address CLI flag (and NORNICDB_ADDRESS / server.host config key) is plumbed through to the HTTP server correctly but never reaches the Bolt server config. The Bolt listener therefore always binds to the wildcard address (all interfaces), regardless of what the user configures. On a LAN, this exposes the graph database — with its default admin:password credentials — to any device sharing the network. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.42-hotfix.
