Original Title: system.users collection placement allows offline dictionary attack for read-only users
When using authentication with mongodb, users with read-write permissions have their password hashes stored in system.users. Read-only users can read these hashes. This permits read-only users to read the password hashes of read/write users and perform an offline dictionary attack in order to escalate their privileges.
