Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 2: Binding a socket to all network interfaces

[parkcheolhong]

Potential fix for https://github.com/parkcheolhong/codeAI/security/code-scanning/2

General fix: ensure the service binds to a dedicated interface by default (typically loopback), and only allow explicit, validated host values. Do not default to 0.0.0.0.

Best minimal fix in run_profiler_backend.py:

• Change _default_profiler_host() so it always returns "127.0.0.1" instead of returning "0.0.0.0" in containers.
• Keep existing environment override behavior unchanged (BACKEND_PROFILER_HOST still works), preserving functionality for operators who intentionally need non-loopback binding.

This removes the insecure default without changing surrounding logic (_can_bind, port resolution, or uvicorn startup).

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

Summary by Sourcery

Bug Fixes:

• Change the default profiler backend host to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 in container environments to address a security/code scanning warning about binding to all interfaces.

Reviewer's Guide

Updates the profiler backend’s default bind address to always use loopback (127.0.0.1) instead of binding to all interfaces in containerized environments, eliminating the insecure 0.0.0.0 default while preserving environment-based overrides.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

• Since _default_profiler_host is now always loopback, consider adding a guard around BACKEND_PROFILER_HOST to explicitly reject or require an explicit opt-in for 0.0.0.0 (e.g. via a separate flag) so insecure bindings cannot be reintroduced unintentionally via configuration.
• If there are deployment environments that previously relied on the container-specific 0.0.0.0 default, it may be worth centralizing the host selection logic (including any future container checks or overrides) behind a single helper that can emit a clear warning when a non-loopback bind is requested.

Pull request overview

Updates the profiler backend launcher to remove an insecure default bind address that could expose the service externally (code scanning alert #2), while preserving the existing operator override via environment variables.

Changes:

• Removes container-detection logic that previously defaulted the bind host to 0.0.0.0.
• Makes the default bind host always 127.0.0.1, leaving BACKEND_PROFILER_HOST override behavior unchanged.
