  • SRG-APP-000225-DB-000153

    Group
  • MongoDB must fail to a secure state if system initialization fails, shutdown fails, or aborts fail.

  • SRG-APP-000243-DB-000373

    Group
  • MongoDB must prevent unauthorized and unintended information transfer via shared system resources.

  • SRG-APP-000251-DB-000391

    Group
  • MongoDB and associated applications must reserve the use of dynamic code execution for situations that require it.

    With respect to database management systems, one class of threat is known as SQL Injection, or more generally, code injection. It takes advantage of the dynamic execution capabilities of various pr...

  • SRG-APP-000311-DB-000308

    Group
  • MongoDB must associate organization-defined types of security labels having organization-defined security label values with information in storage and transmission.

    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 ...

  • SRG-APP-000328-DB-000301

    Group
  • MongoDB must enforce discretionary access control policies, as defined by the data owner, over defined subjects and objects.

    Discretionary Access Control (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...

  • SRG-APP-000179-DB-000114

    Group
  • MongoDB must use NIST FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic modules for cryptographic operations.

    The use of weak or not validated cryptographic algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption and digital signatures to protect data. Weak algorithms can be easily broken and not valid...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000428-DB-000386

    Group
  • 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...

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.
