Solution
Upgrade to boks-server 8.1.0.23 or 9.0.0.5.
Workaround
Restrict network access to boks_autoregisterd, which listens on port 6507 by default, until fixed builds are deployed. Another workaround for both boks-server 8.1 and 9.0 is to disable the service in the boksinit configuration. On the BoKS Master, edit $BOKS_var/internal/boksinit/master and comment out the line `autoregisterd:300:1:0:respawn::$BOKS_lib/boks_autoregisterd -xn` by prefixing it with `#`; then make boks_init reread the file, for example by running `kill -HUP $(cat $BOKS_var/run/boks_init)`, or restart BoKS. This stops boks_autoregisterd and prevents it from being respawned; autoregistration is unavailable until the row is restored.
