Ensure that MongoDB does not bypass authentication via the localhost exception

AltaNivel 1Automatizadamongodb

Descripción

MongoDB should not be set to bypass authentication via the localhost exception. The localhost exception allows the user to enable authorization before creating the first user in the system. When active, the localhost exception allows all connections from the localhost interface to have full access to that instance. The exception applies only when there are no users created in the MongoDB instance. Checks the YAML config file /etc/mongod.conf (SKIP when it does not exist). The localhost exception is enabled by default, so the setting must be present and false.
