AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately upgrade MongoDB Server to the fixed versions: 5.0.31 or later, 6.0.24 or later, 7.0.21 or later, and 8.0.5 or later. If you cannot patch yet, administrators should minimize privilege changes during active user sessions and consider temporarily disabling non-essential user accounts. Implement monitoring to detect anomalous access patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts. Regularly audit user privileges and session states to ensure that revoked permissions are enforced promptly. Employ network segmentation and strict access controls to limit authenticated user exposure. Consider integrating MongoDB with external identity and access management (IAM) solutions that provide real-time privilege enforcement. Additionally, review and harden MongoDB authentication and authorization configurations to reduce the attack surface. Document and test incident response plans for potential misuse of stale privileges.
Description
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.
