Assigner: MongoDB, Inc.

Description

A MongoDB Rust Driver component that holds client-side field level encryption settings includes key management service credential material in its diagnostic formatting output without redaction. An application that records or displays this formatted output may place that material where a party with read access to the application's diagnostic output can see it, which may result in unintended disclosure of key material.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves a MongoDB Rust Driver component that exposes key management service credential material in its diagnostic output without redaction. If an application logs or displays this formatted output, unauthorized parties with read access could view the sensitive key material.

Detection Guidance

Check application logs and diagnostic outputs for MongoDB Rust Driver field level encryption settings. Look for unredacted key management service credential material in formatted output.

Impact Analysis

The exposure of key material could allow attackers to decrypt encrypted data, gain unauthorized access to systems, or compromise sensitive information stored in the database. This may lead to data breaches or unauthorized data manipulation.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR and HIPAA due to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data. GDPR requires protection of personal data, while HIPAA mandates safeguarding protected health information. A breach may result in legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the MongoDB Rust Driver to the latest version where the issue is fixed. Review and redact any diagnostic outputs containing sensitive key material before logging or displaying them.
