MongoDB Compass < 1.39.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 359479

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MongoDB Compass installed on the remote host is prior to 1.39.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the bundled Electron runtime, which was updated to version 23.3.12 in this release:

 - Use after free in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.98 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2023-3728)

 - Use after free in Tab Groups in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.98 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI interactions to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.
 (CVE-2023-3730)

 - Out of bounds memory access in Mojo in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.98 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.
 (CVE-2023-3732)

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 Compass version 1.39.1 or later.
