CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedMongoDB Server contains a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with elevated privileges to bypass a disabled feature gate in the applyOps command, potentially leading to unauthorized direct writes to internal storage tables. This flaw can result in the manipulation of unrelated internal metadata and data from other collections, posing a risk to data integrity and security. Organizations using MongoDB, particularly those with elevated user access, should prioritize patching this issue to mitigate potential exploitation.
Original NVD Description
A security issue in MongoDB Server allows an authenticated user with elevated internal privileges to bypass a disabled feature gate in the applyOps command by specifying an internal replication mode value that was not intended to be client-selectable. This bypass enables execution of container operations that are disabled by default in production configurations, allowing direct storage-engine writes to arbitrary internal storage tables. The authorization check for these operations validates only the operation's namespace, not the actual storage target, enabling writes to unrelated internal metadata or other collections' data.
