If your Calibre library is accessible to the internet, other people may find it and then access and download books from it. Sometimes done deliberately by pirates, but also inadvertently by users who don't realize.
Depending on the source of these books and DRM removal method, there's a chance that these books might be still watermarked and then traced back to you if a third party uploads it elsewhere. Not sure what chance but I wouldn't risk it.
calibre-server can requite a password to access it. Preferences > Sharing over the net > Main > Require username and password. (Don't forget to make an account!)

Thank you @ownedbycats. I've been using calibre for many years, most of the time I run it from within Firejail. But then usually cannot add books. I don't use it as a server. Other than a uname/pwd, is there anyway to 'disconnect' it from any internet connection? Another digital security headache, eh?
