Security Fix: MongoDB Port Binding

Summary

Local development documentation previously exposed MongoDB to the public internet by binding to 0.0.0.0:27017. This configuration is unsafe and commonly exploited by automated ransomware scanners.

Impact

  • Full database compromise
  • Data deletion and ransom demands
  • Service disruption

Fix

MongoDB must be bound to localhost only.

Insecure (Before)

ports:
  - "27017:27017"

Secure (After)

ports:
  - "127.0.0.1:27017:27017"
