What it is about

MongoDB ist ein Open-Source-Dokumentendatenbank. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in verschiedenen MongoDB Clients ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, Daten zu manipulieren oder Denial-of-Service-Zustände herbeizuführen.

Under what conditions?

The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen
  • vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen
  • Daten zu manipulieren oder Denial-of-Service-Zustände herbeizuführen
