MongoDB 3.0.x < 3.0.7 / 3.1.x < 3.1.9 Authentication Bypass

high Nessus Plugin ID 126506

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of the remote MongoDB server is 3.0.x prior to 3.0.7, 3.1.x prior to 3.1.9. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified flaw in LDAP authentication. An attacker may exploit this to gain unauthorized access to a MongoDB instance or cluster.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MongoDB version 3.0.7 / 3.1.9 or later.
