#2574 TCP socket makes people nervous
On Unix platforms, KeePass opens a TCP socket for IPC. Given KeePass’s security-critical nature, that seems to have made a few people nervous (see e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842541 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1848832).
It would perhaps be preferable to use a Unix domain socket rather than a TCP socket, since this would allow access to be restricted with file permissions.
