Description

Description

We have recently identified and addressed a significant security vulnerability concerning an authorization bypass that allows an attacker to issue an integration removal request by obtaining the internal _id of MongoDB. And issuing an unauthorized DELETE command to delete this integration.

The issue was ethically discovered, and a hotfix was released in a 2-hour window of disclosure. System logs have been monitored to ensure no enumeration attempts have been made.

Patches

The version was patched on our cloud offering immediately, and a patched v0.20.0 docker image of the API was released immediately.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
