MongoDB Enterprise Advanced 4.x Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • MongoDB must check the validity of all data inputs except those specifically identified by the organization.

    Invalid user input occurs when a user inserts data or characters into an application's data entry fields and the application is unprepared to process that data. This results in unanticipated applic...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • MongoDB must provide non-privileged users with error messages that provide information necessary for corrective actions without revealing information that could be exploited by adversaries.

    Any DBMS or associated application providing too much information in error messages on the screen or printout risks compromising the data and security of the system. The structure and content of er...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • MongoDB must allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with site audit record storage requirements.

    In order to ensure sufficient storage capacity for the audit logs, MongoDB must be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. Although another requirement (SRG-APP-000515-DB-000318) mandates t...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • MongoDB must prohibit user installation of logic modules (stored procedures, functions, triggers, views, etc.) without explicit privileged status.

    Allowing regular users to install software, without explicit privileges, creates the risk that untested or potentially malicious software will be installed on the system. Explicit privileges (escal...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • MongoDB must require users to reauthenticate when organization-defined circumstances or situations require reauthentication.

    The DoD standard for authentication of an interactive user is the presentation of a Common Access Card (CAC) or other physical token bearing a valid, current, DoD-issued Public Key Infrastructure (...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • MongoDB must only accept end entity certificates issued by DoD PKI or DoD-approved PKI Certification Authorities (CAs) for the establishment of all encrypted sessions.

    Only DoD-approved external PKIs have been evaluated to ensure that they have security controls and identity vetting procedures in place which are sufficient for DoD systems to rely on the identity ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • When invalid inputs are received, MongoDB must behave in a predictable and documented manner that reflects organizational and system objectives.

    A common vulnerability is unplanned behavior when invalid inputs are received. This requirement guards against adverse or unintended system behavior caused by invalid inputs, where information syst...

  • MongoDB must provide audit record generation for DoD-defined auditable events within all DBMS/database components.

    MongoDB must provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within all DBMS/database components. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000089-DB-000064, SRG-APP-000080-DB-000063, SRG-APP...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
