CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedMongoDB's LDAP authorization integration is vulnerable due to pooled LDAP connections retaining stale authentication identities, which can lead to authorization queries executing under incorrect LDAP identities. This flaw may allow authenticated users to gain unintended elevated privileges, undermining the intended access control policies. Organizations using MongoDB with LDAP integration should prioritize addressing this issue to prevent potential privilege escalation and ensure proper role assignments.
Original NVD Description
A security issue exists in MongoDB's LDAP authorization integration where pooled LDAP connections can retain stale authentication identities after user authentication under certain configurations. Subsequent authorization queries may execute under an unintended LDAP identity rather than the expected one. This can result in incorrect role assignments based on the LDAP directory's access control configuration, potentially allowing an authenticated user to acquire elevated privileges that were not intended by the deployment's authorization policy.
