MongoDB must be configured to prohibit or restrict the use of organization-defined functions, ports, protocols, and/or services, as defined in the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.

Description
To prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable or restrict unused or unnecessary physical and logical ports/protocols/services on information systems. Applications are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services provided by default may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations. Additionally, it is sometimes convenient to provide multiple services from a single component (e.g., email and web services); however, doing so increases risk over limiting the services provided by any one component. To support the requirements and principles of least functionality, the application must support the organizational requirements providing only essential capabilities and limiting the use of ports, protocols, and/or services to only those required, authorized, and approved to conduct official business or to address authorized quality of life issues. Database Management Systems using ports, protocols, and services deemed unsafe are open to attack through those ports, protocols, and services. This can allow unauthorized access to the database and through the database to other components of the information system.

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-279346r1179449_chk)

Check the MongoDB configuration file (default location /etc/mongod.conf) to verify the following entry: net: port: 27017 If the port listed is not authorized, this is a finding. Verify only TLS 1.2+ is being used. If the following entry is not in the configuration file, this is a finding. net: tls: mode: requireTLS disabledProtocols: TLS1_0,TLS1_1 Verify the binding of IP addresses does not include "0.0.0.0" or ":0": net: bindIp: 127.0.0.1,<specific-ip-addresses> If the bindIp contains "0.0.0.0" or "::0", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-83804r1179204_fix)

Check the MongoDB configuration file (default location /etc/mongod.conf): Ensure the following section exists and set the port in the to an allowed port: net: port: 27017 Ensure that TLS 1.2+ is being used by adding the following entry into the configuration file. net: tls: mode: requireTLS disabledProtocols: TLS1_0,TLS1_1 Ensure the following section exists in the configuration file and that it does not contain wildcard binding (occurrences of "0.0.0.0" or "::0" or equivalents). net: bindIp: 127.0.0.1,<specific-ip-addresses>
