What to check
- Applies to
- The 5 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
CERT-FR published an advisory summarizing five vulnerabilities affecting multiple MongoDB ecosystem components: MongoDB server (versions 2.2.x-2.5.x prior to 2.5.3, 2.x prior to 2.1.10, and prior to 1.21.10), MongoDB-extension, Compass (prior to 1.49.12), mongo-c-driver (prior to 1.30.12 and prior to 2.5.5), and pymongo (prior to 4.18.2). The vulnerabilities can allow an attacker to compromise data integrity, bypass security policy controls, or trigger an unspecified security issue as characterized by the vendor.
No exploitation in the wild is indicated, and no technical exploitation details are provided in the advisory. Defenders operating any of the listed MongoDB components should consult the referenced vendor security bulletins and GitHub Security Advisories (GHSA-cmvj-vxvq-rh2c, GHSA-frjf-h5jg-4v46, GHSA-qx36-8mw2-4r3x, GHSA-v4x9-3549-crwv, GHSA-vp6j-j7w5-5xjj) to identify affected packages precisely and apply the corresponding patched versions.
Given the range of affected components—spanning the database server, GUI client, C driver, PHP driver, and Python driver—organizations using MongoDB in any capacity should inventory their deployed driver and tooling versions and prioritize patching, particularly for internet-facing or multi-tenant environments where data integrity guarantees are relied upon.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,433 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
