When mongosqld is configured with a client certificate authority file, the listener requests a client certificate during the TLS handshake but does not require one, so a client that presents no certificate is still accepted. In deployments that rely on client certificates as the sole means of identifying users, a remote party with network access to the listener can therefore establish a session and read the MongoDB data exposed through the connector.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in MongoDB ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, SQL-Injection-Angriffe durchzuführen, die Authentifizierung zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen.
