Missing log redaction due to confusion with Command::redactForLogging()

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Priority: Icon: Major - P3 Major - P3
    • 3.4.17, 3.6.7, 3.7.4
    • Affects Version/s: 3.6.3, 3.7.2
    • Component/s: Security
    • None
    • Minor Change
    • ALL
    • v3.6, v3.4

      The existing Command::redactForLogging() predates the --redactClientLogData feature. The two are unrelated. The latter was introduced in 3.4, and when enabled, strips any PII from the logs. The former, on the other hand, is always enabled, and is used to strip password data (as well as to avoid overlong write command lines).

      We appear to have confused these two redaction functions, resulting in a places where redaction is missing:

      https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/src/mongo/db/service_entry_point_common.cpp#L836-L837

      Should ServiceEntryPointCommon::getRedactedCopyForLogging() also call redact(const BSONObj&)?
