The source snippets don’t detail how the port is bound. It could be fairly securely bound just to localhost, like XAMPP does, or it could be bound to INADDR_ANY (that people outside the computer could telnet to).

While great for the application it appears to leave the client wide-open to be exploited. Am I missing something?
