Is it possible to upgrade Amazon DocumentDB Engine to address MongoDB vulnerability (SERVER-85263)?

0

There was a Vulnerability Assessment conducted in our AWS environment, targeting Amazon DocumentDB, which identified the following vulnerability:

Name: MongoDB 5.0.x < 5.0.25 / 6.0.x < 6.0.14 / 7.0.x < 7.0.6 Improper Input Validation (SERVER-85263)

Synopsis: The remote host is missing a security update.

Description: The version of MongoDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.0.25, 6.0.14, or 7.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SERVER-85263 advisory.

  • Improper validation of certain metadata input may result in the server not correctly serialising BSON. This can be performed pre-authentication and may cause unexpected application behavior including unavailability of serverStatus responses. This issue affects MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.6, MongoDB Server v6.0 versions prior to 6.0.14 and MongoDB Server v.5.0 versions prior to 5.0.25. (CVE-2024-3372)

Note that Security Testing has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution: Upgrade to MongoDB version 5.0.25 / 6.0.14 / 7.0.6 or later.

CVE: CVE-2024-3372

**Reference: **https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-85263

Proof of Concept: " URL : https://xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz:27017/ (Redacted) Installed version : 5.0.0 Fixed version : 5.0.25 " Our current DocumentDB Engine is version 5.0.0. Is there any way to upgrade DocumentDB to a later version to address this vulnerability?

Hello. DocumentDB doesn't use MongoDB engine. DocumentDB provides the same abstraction for API as Mongo, but it uses proprietary Amazon engine that is completely different from Mongo.
