medium Nessus Plugin ID 209641

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of MongoDB installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0.17, 7.0.13 and 7.3.13. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SERVER-92382 advisory.

- PrepareUnique index may cause secondaries to crash due to incorrect enforcement of index constraints on secondaries, where in extreme cases may cause multiple secondaries crashing leading to no primaries. This issue affects MongoDB Server v6.0 versions prior to 6.0.17, MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.13 and MongoDB Server v7.3 versions prior to 7.3.4 (CVE-2024-8305)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MongoDB version 6.0.17 / 7.0.13 / 7.3.13 or later.
