It's been a bit quiet over the last 24 hours, so it'll be a short post today focusing on a significant vulnerability impacting MongoDB. Let's dive in:
MongoDB Unauthenticated Memory Read Flaw ⚠️
- A high-severity vulnerability, CVE-2025-14847 (CVSS 8.7), has been disclosed in MongoDB, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read uninitialized heap memory.
- The flaw stems from improper handling of length parameter inconsistency in Zlib compressed protocol headers, potentially disclosing sensitive in-memory data like internal state or pointers.
- Admins should upgrade immediately to patched versions (e.g., 8.2.3, 8.0.17, 7.0.28, 6.0.27, 5.0.32, 4.4.30). If immediate upgrade isn't possible, disable zlib compression on the MongoDB Server as a temporary mitigation.
