MongoDB Security Audit: mongoaudit
iSpeech.org
mongoaudit is a CLI tool for auditing MongoDB servers, detecting poor security settings and performing automated penetration testing. It is widely known that there are quite a few holes in MongoDB’s default configuration settings. This fact, combined with abundant lazy system administrators and developers, has led to what the press has called the MongoDB apocalypse. mongoaudit not only detects misconfigurations, known vulnerabilities and bugs but also gives you advice on how to fix them, recommends best practices and teaches you how to DevOp like a pro!
Among other tests, it checks if:
- MongoDB listens on a port different to default one
- MongoDB HTTP status interface is disabled
- TLS/SSL encryption is enabled
- Authentication is enabled
- SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication method is enabled
- Server-side Javascript is forbidden
- Roles granted to the user only permit CRUD operations
- The user has permissions over a single database
- The server is vulnerable to a dozen of different known security bugs
Installing with pip
This is the recommended installation method in case you have python and pip.
pip install mongoaudit
Alternative installer
Use this if and only if python and pip are not available on your platform.
curl -s https://mongoaud.it/install | bash
works on Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and Bash for Windows 10
If you are serious about security you should always use the PIP installer or, better yet, follow best security practices: clone this repository, check the source code and only then run it with python mongoaudit.
