1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU48657
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7925
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the role name parser. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsMongoDB: 4.2.0 - 4.4.0
External linkshttp://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-49142
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?
The attacker would have to send a specially crafted request to the affected application in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Improper Neutralization of Null Byte or NUL Character
EUVDB-ID: #VU48658
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7928
CWE-ID:
CWE-158 - Improper Neutralization of Null Byte or NUL Character
