The layman’s explanation makes a genuinely complex memory over-read vulnerability very easy to grasp, and the technical section clearly shows why MongoBleed is more about architecture mistakes than instant doom.

I especially appreciate the emphasis on real-world attack feasibility. Too often CVEs are treated as universally exploitable, when in reality things like localhost binding, firewalls, and disabled compression already eliminate entire attack classes—exactly as you explained.

The point about Hive Engine’s data model is also important: even in a worst-case scenario, most leaked memory would be public blockchain state, not sensitive user secrets. That context matters a lot for node operators deciding how urgently they need to react.
