Patch now. It under exploitation confirmed by CISA and has a working public exploit.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
MongoDB servers using Zlib compression have a flaw where mismatched header length fields allow unauthenticated attackers to read uninitialized memory from the server. This could expose sensitive data without requiring authentication.
The vulnerability exists in Zlib compressed protocol header parsing where length field inconsistencies enable unauthenticated remote clients to trigger heap memory reads. An attacker can craft malformed compressed protocol messages to leak uninitialized heap memory contents, potentially exposing sensitive data; no authentication is required to trigger this condition.
