Description
MongoDB SQL Schema Builder CLI records its startup configuration to standard output and, when file logging is enabled, to a log file on disk. Certain connection settings were written without redaction, so authentication material supplied by the operator could appear in plaintext in that diagnostic output. A local user with read access to the terminal session or the log directory, or anyone with access to a location where those logs are subsequently collected, could obtain those values.

Impact

MongoDB SQL Schema Builder CLI emits its configuration parameters to standard output during startup, and when file logging is enabled, to a local log file. Affected connection settings—including authentication materials supplied by an operator—are written without redaction. This weakness allows an attacker to read such credentials from the terminal session or from the log file. The flaw is a classic example of CWE‑532, where configuration or other sensitive information is exposed through logging mechanisms, resulting in potential compromise of authentication secrets.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the MongoDB Schema Builder CLI utility. No specific version information is listed in the CNA data, but any deployment that uses the CLI with default or configured logging is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.8 indicates medium severity. EPSS is not available, so the precise likelihood of exploitation is unknown, but the potential impact of credential leakage is significant. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so it may not be a currently actively exploited flaw, but the information disclosure remains a serious risk to any system that logs CLI output with sensitive data. The attack vector is local; a user with read access to the terminal session, log directory, or any place where the generated logs are collected can obtain the credentials.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a MongoDB Schema Builder CLI release that redacts authentication details from diagnostic output.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable file logging or configure the CLI to use a secure log location with tight permissions so that only authorized administrators can read the logs.
  • Restrict terminal session access by ensuring that only privileged users can view the CLI’s output or by using screen‑like tools that limit session visibility to authorized users.
