3DescriptionCVE.org
When mongosqld is configured with a client certificate authority file, the listener requests a client certificate during the TLS handshake but does not require one, so a client that presents no certificate is still accepted. In deployments that rely on client certificates as the sole means of identifying users, a remote party with network access to the listener can therefore establish a session and read the MongoDB data exposed through the connector.
AnalysisAI
Mongosqld in the MongoDB BI Connector requests but does not enforce client certificates during the TLS handshake when configured with a CA file, silently accepting connections from clients that present no certificate at all. Deployments that rely on client certificate authentication as the sole means of identifying users are fully exposed - any remote party with network access to the listener can establish a session and read all MongoDB data surfaced through the SQL interface. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Two specific non-default configuration conditions must coexist: (1) mongosqld must be configured with a client certificate authority file (e.g., net.tls.CAFile is explicitly set), which is not a default deployment state; and (2) client certificate authentication must be the sole mechanism for identifying and authenticating users - meaning no supplemental username/password, LDAP, or other credential layer is configured. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H) scores this at 8.7 and accurately reflects the severity for deployments meeting the exploitation conditions - network-reachable, trivially exploited, requiring no credentials, with full confidentiality impact on exposed data. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade the MongoDB BI Connector to the patched version identified in the official release notes at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/bi-connector/current/release-notes/ - no specific fixed version number was confirmed in the available intelligence and must be verified directly before deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all Mongosqld deployments to identify those configured with CA file and client certificate requirements; implement firewall rules to restrict the listener port to internal networks only, blocking all external access. …
