MongoDB Enterprise Advanced 7.x Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
MongoDB must provide nonprivileged 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 -

The DBMS must automatically terminate a user session after organization-defined conditions or trigger events requiring session disconnect.
This addresses the termination of user-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications sessions (i.e., network disconnect). ...Rule Medium Severity -

MongoDB must associate organization-defined types of security labels having organization-defined security label values with information in storage.
Without the association of security labels to information, there is no basis for MongoDB to make security-related access-control decisions. Security labels are abstractions representing the basic ...Rule Medium Severity -

MongoDB must enforce discretionary access control (DAC) policies, as defined by the data owner, over defined subjects and objects.
DAC is based on the notion that individual users are "owners" of objects and therefore have discretion over who should be authorized to access the object and in which mode (e.g., read or write). Ow...Rule Medium Severity -

When updates are applied to MongoDB software, any software components that have been replaced or made unnecessary must be removed.
Previous versions of DBMS components that are not removed from the information system after updates have been installed may be exploited by adversaries. Some DBMSs' installation tools may remove o...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 provide a warning to appropriate support staff when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of maximum audit record storage capacity.
Organizations are required to use a central log management system, so, under normal conditions, the audit space allocated to MongoDB on its own server will not be an issue. However, space will stil...Rule Medium Severity -

MongoDB must provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff of all audit log failures.
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impe...Rule Medium Severity -

MongoDB must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to the configuration of MongoDB or database(s).
Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to configuration may have significant effects on the overall security of the system. When dealing with access restrictions pe...Rule Medium Severity -

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.
