Description

X.509 certificates generated by the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator may allow an attacker with access to the Kubernetes cluster improper access to MongoDB instances. Customers who do not use X.509 authentication, and those who do not use the Operator to generate their X.509 certificates are unaffected. This issue affects MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator version 1.0, MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator version 1.1, MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator version 1.2 versions prior to 1.2.4, MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator version 1.3 versions prior to 1.3.1, 1.2, 1.4 versions prior to 1.4.4.
