Description
An issue in MongoDB Server could allow a party with a valid client certificate and a corresponding user account to authenticate using a certificate-based authentication method, even when an administrator has configured the server to restrict authentication to other mechanisms. This could allow authentication through a method the administrator intended to disable.
