CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedMongoDB Server is vulnerable to a privilege escalation issue where authenticated users with specific non-default privileges can execute data-definition operations, such as dropping or modifying collections, without proper authorization. This inconsistency between the authorization check and the operation can lead to unauthorized data manipulation. Organizations using MongoDB should prioritize this vulnerability to prevent potential data integrity breaches.
Original NVD Description
An issue in MongoDB Server's applyOps command could allow an authenticated user with specific non-default privileges to perform certain data-definition operations, such as dropping or modifying collections, against collections they do not have permission to manipulate. This is due to an inconsistency in how the target collection is determined between the authorization check and the actual operation.
