Improper Authorization in MongoDB Queryable Encryption Maintenance Operations Allows Unauthorized Modification of Other Collections

Type: advisorySource: OSV1 source record

An issue in MongoDB Server's Queryable Encryption maintenance operations could allow an authenticated user with privileges on one encrypted collection to cause unauthorized modification or destruction of data belonging to a different collection. This is due to insufficient validation of certain internal metadata references before they are used to perform operations on other namespaces.
