Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of MongoDB installed on the remote host is 5.0 prior to 5.0.31, 6.0 prior to 6.0.24, 7.0 prior to 7.0.21 and 8.0 prior to 8.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SERVER-93497 advisory.

 - Under certain conditions, an authenticated user request may execute with stale privileges following an intentional change by an authorized administrator. This issue affects MongoDB Server v5.0 version prior to 5.0.31, MongoDB Server v6.0 version prior to 6.0.24, MongoDB Server v7.0 version prior to 7.0.21 and MongoDB Server v8.0 version prior to 8.0.5. (CVE-2025-6707)

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

Solution

Upgrade to MongoDB version 5.0.31, 6.0.24, 7.0.21, 8.0.5 or later.
