CVE-2023-0436

What is CVE-2023-0436?

The MongoDB Atlas Kubernetes Operator has a vulnerability that allows the possibility of exposing sensitive information, including GCP service account keys and API integration secrets, when DEBUG mode logging is enabled. This issue affects specific versions of the operator and occurs due to improper logging configurations that end-users can set. Notably, DEBUG mode must be deliberately enabled by users, as it is not the default setting. For those operating on the affected versions, it is essential to review the deployment configuration and consider upgrading to the latest supported version to maintain security integrity.
