[...] If you want to avoid that the BaseX server is visible and can be controlled from outside, you can e.g. restrict the SERVERHOST option to localhost [1,2].
I do that on fromoldbooks.org, but when I upgraded basex it of course started using a different conf file (without me realising) and became insecure. It would be better if listening on localhost could be the default: make packages reasonably secure by default.
