Technical Analysis
The vulnerability involves the mongodrdl component of MongoDB Connector for BI version 2.12.0 writing sensitive TLS private-key passwords to standard error output when the password is provided through both the connection URI and the command-line option. This leakage of sensitive information (CWE-532) could enable a local attacker with access to the command output and encrypted key file to retrieve the password and compromise the associated TLS client key.
Potential Impact
An attacker with local access to the system and the ability to capture the command output and access the encrypted TLS key file could obtain the TLS private-key password. This could lead to unauthorized use of the TLS client key, potentially undermining the confidentiality and integrity of TLS communications involving the BI Connector.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation level is currently documented for this vulnerability. Users should avoid supplying the TLS private-key password through both the connection URI and command-line option simultaneously to prevent password disclosure. Monitor the vendor advisory for updates regarding fixes or official mitigations.
