TMA-MONGODB-3.3

Ensure that MongoDB is run using a non-privileged, dedicated service account

ÉlevéeNiveau 1Automatiséemongodb

Description

The MongoDB service should not be run using a privileged account such as 'root' because this unnecessarily exposes the operating system to high risk. The benchmark rates this recommendation Manual; the automated check covers its objective pass criterion. Passes when every running mongod/mongos process runs as a non-root account (FAIL when none are running).

Méthode de vérification

Méthode d'audit: Commande shell

shell

out=$(ps -eo user=,comm= 2>/dev/null) || exit 1; printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '$2 == "mongod" || $2 == "mongos" {n++; if ($1 == "root") r++} END {if (n == 0) print "not running"; else if (r > 0) print "root"; else print "compliant"}'

Sortie attendue: compliant

Méthode de correction

Méthode de correction: Recommandation ou correctif d'infrastructure

Create a dedicated mongodb system account, make the data, keyfile and TLS key files readable only by it, set User=mongodb in the service unit and restart mongod.
