CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

Upgrade mongodb to version 3.4.10 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. MongoDB 3.4.x before 3.4.10, and 3.5.x-development, has a disabled-by-default configuration setting, networkMessageCompressors (aka wire protocol compression), which exposes a vulnerability when enabled that could be exploited by a malicious attacker to deny service or modify memory.
