Description
The MongoSQL Transition Readiness Tool writes query text and user names read from BI Connector log files into its generated HTML report without encoding them for that output context. A user able to issue queries through the BI Connector can influence log content so that markup supplied in a query is interpreted by the browser when an operator later generates and opens the report, which may disclose other users' logged query text and user names to an external party or present misleading content to the operator. Generating a report over logs containing the affected entries and opening that report in a browser is required.

AI Analysis

Impact

The MongoSQL Transition Readiness Tool outputs query strings and usernames extracted from BI Connector logs into an HTML report without escaping them. A user who can submit queries through the BI Connector can embed HTML or JavaScript markup into a query. When the report is later generated and viewed in a browser, the injected markup is interpreted, which may leak other users’ query text and usernames to an external party or display misleading content. This constitutes a stored XSS vulnerability that can compromise confidentiality of query data and the perceived integrity of the report.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the MongoDB BI Connector Transition Readiness Report feature, also referred to as the MongoSQL Transition Readiness Tool. All deployments that use this tool to generate HTML reports from BI Connector logs are potentially impacted. No specific affected versions are listed, so any version that includes the report generation logic is considered vulnerable until an official fix is released.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. There is no EPSS data available and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires a user with permission to submit queries via the BI Connector to inject malicious markup into log entries, and an operator later to generate and open the report in a web browser. Because the attack path requires both a privileged query author and a report viewer, the likelihood is lower than a purely remote XSS, but the impact on data confidentiality and potential to mislead operators is significant.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑issued patch or upgrade to the latest version of the MongoSQL Transition Readiness Tool once available.
  • Restrict BI Connector query permissions so that only trusted users can submit queries that are logged; consider disabling query logging for high‑risk users.
  • Modify the report generation process to apply proper HTML escaping (e.g., use an HTML‑encoding library) to all user‑supplied data before embedding it into the generated report.
