| Description |
|
The default install of mongodb from the repo: Does not have a "bind_ip 127.0.0.1" option set in the mongodb.conf. This leaves a users server vulnerable if they are not aware of this setting. The default should be to lockdown as much as possible and only expose if the user requests it. |

Binding to localhost on Debian by default |

I agree, but I think it is very important that an updated packages get out there asap. Since mongodb ships with no auth by default this leaves many people completely vulnerable without realizing it. |

This will break current deployments - so will need to be heavily documented and easy to debug. |
