The server binds to 127.0.0.1 but did not validate the Host header, making it vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks (CVSS 6.5). An attacker could use a domain that resolves to 127.0.0.1 to bypass same-origin policy and execute commands on the local server. Add aiohttp middleware that rejects requests where the Host header is not 127.0.0.1, localhost, or [::1]. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
