SCA: security update for github.com/orneryd/nornicdb (GHSA-2hp7-65r3-wv54)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440743

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Nornicdb is a distributed low-latency, Graph+Vector, Temporal MVCC with all sub-ms HNSW search, graph
 traversal, and writes. Prior to version 1.0.42-hotfix, the --address CLI flag (and NORNICDB_ADDRESS /
 server.host config key) is plumbed through to the HTTP server correctly but never reaches the Bolt server
 config. The Bolt listener therefore always binds to the wildcard address (all interfaces), regardless of
 what the user configures. On a LAN, this exposes the graph database — with its default admin:password
 credentials — to any device sharing the network. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.42-hotfix.
 (CVE-2026-42072)

Solution

Update the github.com/orneryd/nornicdb library and its related packages to version 1.0.42-hotfix or later.
