MongoDB Credentials

Description​

General​

  • Documentation: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/

  • Summary: MongoDB is a document-oriented database. This detector aims at finding MongoDB credentials in the form of URI connection strings, variable assignments or used when calling its CLIs.

  • IPs allowlist: This can be implemented directly on the server running Mongo.

  • Scopes: MongoDB employs role-based access control to govern access to the system. Various roles can be attributed to users. Read this documentation for more details.

Revoke the secret​

User's permissions can be managed by database administrators. Users with appropriate privileges can also change their own passwords. Read this documentation on changing passwords for more details.

Check for suspicious activity​

Database access logs can be stored and audited on the server side to investigate suspicious activities.
