mongodb-connection-string· DatabaseMongoDB connection string
Direct database access with the embedded password.
How it is detected
Matches a `mongodb://` or `mongodb+srv://` URL carrying a password.
If you find one
- 1Change the password on the database user immediately.
- 2Check for tables you do not recognise and rows you did not write.
- 3Put the database behind an API. A browser should never hold a connection string.
Where it turns up
Most often in client bundles built by AI coding tools.
