CVE-2021-20332 describes a credential leakage vulnerability in specific versions of the MongoDB Rust Driver (versions 1.0.0 through 1.2.1, and 2.0.0-alpha/alpha1). When connection pool monitoring is enabled (not by default), credentials used for authentication can be inadvertently included in emitted monitoring events, potentially exposing them via logging infrastructure. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.4 (Medium), indicating a local attack vector with low complexity, requiring high privileges for exploitation, and leading to high confidentiality impact. There is no impact on integrity or availability. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, suggesting low public awareness.
