CVE-2026-18710
MediumCVSS 6.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
A MongoDB driver component could write sensitive configuration information, including a credential used for outbound network connectivity, to application log output in cleartext during routine client initialization. This occurs automatically as part of normal operation and requires no special privileges to trigger. A party able to read the affected application's logs or downstream log-aggregation storage could recover the credential and reuse it to authenticate to the associated network infrastructure. This issue affects confidentiality only.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes credential leakage to logs, potentially enabling unauthorized access to network infrastructure. Confidentiality breach may lead to further attacks.
Recommendation
It is recommended to review logging configuration and remove sensitive data from logs. Also rotate any potentially exposed credentials and implement log masking mechanisms.
