Private-key password disclosure via duplicate options
Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
Information disclosure in MongoDB Connector for BI 2.12.0 through 2.14.29 allows local users to obtain a TLS private-key password. mongodrdl writes the password to standard error when both the connection URI and corresponding command-line option supply it. Exploitation requires access to captured command output and the encrypted key file; the disclosed password unlocks the associated TLS client key.
