CVE-2021-20331: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
(updated )
Specific versions of the MongoDB C# Driver may erroneously publish events containing authentication-related data to a command listener configured by an application. The published events may contain security-sensitive data when commands such as “saslStart”, “saslContinue”, “isMaster”, “createUser”, and “updateUser” are executed. Without due care, an application may inadvertently expose this authenticated-related information, e.g., by writing it to a log file. This issue only arises if an application enables the command listener feature (this is not enabled by default). This issue affects the MongoDB C# Driver 2.12 <= 2.12.1.
