To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational user...Rule Medium Severity -
MongoDB must enforce authorized access to all PKI private keys stored/used by MongoDB.
The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. PKI certificate-based authentication is performed by requiring the certificate holder to cryptographically prove possession of ...Rule High Severity -
MongoDB must obscure feedback of authentication information during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation/use by unauthorized individuals.
The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. Normally, with PKI authentication, the interaction with the user for authentication will be handled by a software component se...Rule High Severity -
MongoDB must uniquely identify and authenticate nonorganizational users (or processes acting on behalf of nonorganizational users).
Nonorganizational users include all information system users other than organizational users, which include organizational employees or individuals the organization deems to have equivalent status ...Rule Medium Severity -

The purpose of this control is to prevent information, including encrypted representations of information, produced by the actions of a prior user/role (or the actions of a process acting on behalf...Rule Medium Severity -
MongoDB must reveal detailed error messages only to the information system security officer (ISSO), information system security manager (ISSM), system administrator (SA), and database administrator (DBA).
If MongoDB provides too much information in error logs and administrative messages to the screen, this could lead to compromise. The structure and content of error messages must be carefully consid...Rule Medium Severity -
MongoDB must prevent nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions, to include disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures.
Preventing nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions mitigates the risk that unauthorized individuals or processes may gain unnecessary access to information or privileges. System do...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 (escalat...Rule Medium Severity -
MongoDB must use NSA-approved cryptography to protect classified information in accordance with the data owner's requirements.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards appr...Rule High Severity -
MongoDB must implement cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized modification of organization-defined information at rest (to include, at a minimum, PII and classified information) on organization-defined information system components.
DBMSs handling data requiring "data at rest" protections must employ cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure and modification of the information at rest. These cryptographic mec...Rule Medium Severity -
MongoDB products must be a supported version.
Unsupported commercial and database systems should not be used because fixes to newly identified bugs will not be implemented by the vendor. The lack of support can result in potential vulnerabilit...Rule High Severity -
Security-relevant software updates to MongoDB must be installed within the time period directed by an authoritative source (e.g., IAVM, CTOs, DTMs, and STIGs).
Security flaws with software applications, including database management systems, are discovered daily. Vendors are constantly updating and patching their products to address newly discovered secur...Rule Medium Severity -
MongoDB must enforce approved authorizations for logical access to information and system resources in accordance with applicable access control policies.

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.
