Potential fix for https://github.com/opengsq/opengsq-python/security/code-scanning/2
General approach:
To fix the security issue, the socket should be bound to a specific interface instead of all interfaces (
"0.0.0.0"). The most straightforward and least disruptive way, maintaining current functionality, is to bind the socket to the interface specified byself._host(the host/target for the listener). This restricts the listener to only receive broadcasts arriving at that interface/IP. If there is a use case where"0.0.0.0"is required, the constructor could accept an optional bind address parameter, defaulted toself._host.Detailed steps:
opengsq/protocols/w40kdow.py, locate the line where the socket is bound:sock.bind(("0.0.0.0", self._port))."0.0.0.0"withself._hostto restrict binding to the specific interface indicated byself._host.bind_hostargument."0.0.0.0"toself._host, as that's the most secure and consistent strategy without altering the API.No additional imports or new dependencies are required.
