MongoDB 5.0.x < 5.0.31 / 6.0.x < 6.0.20 / 7.0.x < 7.0.16 / 8.0.x < 8.0.4 Improper Check for Certificate Revocation (SERVER-95445)

high Nessus Plugin ID 294862

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 6.0.20, 7.0 prior to 7.0.16 and 8.0 prior to 8.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SERVER-95445 advisory.

 - A MongoDB server under specific conditions running on Linux with TLS and CRL revocation status checking enabled, fails to check the revocation status of the intermediate certificates in the peer's certificate chain. In cases of MONGODB-X509, which is not enabled by default, this may lead to improper authentication. This issue may also affect intra-cluster authentication. This issue affects MongoDB Server v5.0 versions prior to 5.0.31, MongoDB Server v6.0 versions prior to 6.0.20, MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.16 and MongoDB Server v8.0 versions prior to 8.0.4. Required Configuration : MongoDB Server must be running on Linux Operating Systems and CRL revocation status checking must be enabled. (CVE-2025-3085)

 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, 6.0.20, 7.0.16, 8.0.4 or later.
