argocd-mcp 0.8.0 - Unauthenticated MCP Session and Tool Access

argocd-mcp before 0.9.0 binds its MCP HTTP listener to all interfaces without requiring authentication. A remote unauthenticated attacker can initialize an MCP session, complete the handshake, and enumerate or invoke the full Argo CD tool surface using the operator's stored API token.

Keep --bind-address on 127.0.0.1 unless an external auth layer is in front of the listener, and do not use --allow-unauthenticated to restore a wide bind.
