Summary

In MongoDB's LDAP authorization integration, pooled LDAP connections may retain stale authentication identities after user authentication under certain configurations. Subsequent authorization queries may run under an unintended LDAP identity, leading to incorrect role assignments and potential privilege escalation beyond the intended policy.

Risk Assessment

Authenticated users may gain elevated privileges, leading to unauthorized data access and system integrity compromise.

Recommendation

Update MongoDB to a patched version and review LDAP configuration to ensure connections do not retain stale identities.

Original NVD description (English source)

A security issue exists in MongoDB's LDAP authorization integration where pooled LDAP connections can retain stale authentication identities after user authentication under certain configurations. Subsequent authorization queries may execute under an unintended LDAP identity rather than the expected one. This can result in incorrect role assignments based on the LDAP directory's access control configuration, potentially allowing an authenticated user to acquire elevated privileges that were not intended by the deployment's authorization policy.
