Until a fix is available, users should carefully review encryption schema configurations for embedded models and consider additional protective measures to prevent exposure of sensitive data.
Description
Mongoid may omit encryption rules for fields declared on embedded models when generating the client-side field-level encryption schema. Applications that enable this feature can therefore store values intended to be encrypted in readable form, with no error or warning. A party with routine read access to the database, a backup, or the underlying data files may then see data that was meant to remain unreadable outside the application.
