CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe MongoSQL Transition Readiness Tool is vulnerable as it writes database and collection names into CSV reports without neutralizing leading characters, allowing users with write privileges to craft namespace names that may be interpreted as formulas by spreadsheet applications. This could lead to unintended disclosure of sensitive information or execution of malicious content when the report is opened. Organizations using this tool should prioritize addressing this vulnerability, especially those with users who generate and share reports containing sensitive data.
Original NVD Description
The MongoSQL Transition Readiness Tool writes database and collection names into its generated CSV reports without neutralizing leading characters that spreadsheet applications treat as formulas. A user with write privileges on the cluster can choose a namespace name that is later evaluated as a formula when an operator opens the generated report in a spreadsheet application, which may result in unintended disclosure of report contents or execution of external content on the operator's workstation. Generating a report for the affected namespace and opening it in a spreadsheet application is required.
