Description
An unauthenticated user with network access to the Ops Manager web port can repeatedly request monitoring endpoints that perform costly work without rate limiting. This can temporarily slow other traffic served by the same process while requests continue.

AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthenticated user with network access to the Ops Manager web port can repeatedly call monitoring endpoints that perform expensive work without any rate limiting. The resulting uncontrolled resource consumption can temporarily degrade the responsiveness of other traffic handled by the same process. This flaw matches the Uncontrolled Resource Consumption weakness (CWE‑770) and does not directly compromise confidentiality or integrity but can impair availability for legitimate users.

Affected Systems

MongoDB Ops Manager is affected. All currently deployed instances that expose the web monitoring endpoints are susceptible; specific version information was not supplied.

Risk and Exploitability

Given the CVSS score of 6.9, the vulnerability represents moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and it is not included in the CISA KEV list, but the fact that the attack requires only unauthenticated network access to the Ops Manager web port means that attackers can exploit it remotely. The lack of authentication combined with no rate limiting increases the likelihood that repeated requests could be launched by an attacker, likely resulting in degraded service performance or temporary denial of service.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MongoDB Ops Manager to the latest version that addresses the monitoring endpoint rate limiting issue (see MongoDB release notes for Ops Manager 8.0.2.7 or later).
  • If an immediate upgrade is infeasible, configure network-level rate limiting or firewall rules to restrict the frequency of requests to the monitoring endpoints from both internal and external networks.
  • Apply application‑level configuration changes to require authentication for monitoring endpoints, if supported, or disable unused monitoring services to reduce the attack surface.
