Summary

MongoDB Shell (mongosh) versions from 0 before 2.14.0 are affected. The Node.js runtime bundled with mongosh has a TLS root certificate store that includes recoverable eMudhra intermediate CA certificates, so mongosh trusts certificates issued under them (CWE-295). A remote attacker with no privileges who can obtain such a certificate may impersonate a server and access or alter data, but the attack has extra conditions and needs a user to interact.

Description from the CNA

The MongoDB Shell (mongosh) relies on Node.js as a third-party runtime that carries its own TLS root certificate store. This certificate store has the recoverable eMudhra intermediate CA certificates. This issue impacts MongoDB Shell (mongosh) versions prior to 2.14.0 and can be resolved by updating to mongosh 2.14.0 which bundles Node.js 24.22.1 or later. If mongosh is installed through npm, it uses the Node.js runtime installed on the host; update that runtime separately.

Remediation

Update mongosh to version 2.14.0, which bundles Node.js 24.22.1 or later. If mongosh is installed through npm, it uses the Node.js runtime on the host, so update that runtime separately.
