Important: Exposed MongoDB cluster in your code

[GaillardTom]

Warning

You have an exposed mongoDB cluster containing multiple databases in this repository.

Hey asyncfinkd, If you receive this issue don't panic, I am a friendly automated script looking around the internet and just to let you know that you have an exposed mongoDB cluster in your code that I got from this file https://github.com/asyncfinkd/tech-talent/blob/b019eca8c3afca6eda29c91f5a94d335b12beb21/kebab/app.js.

I was able to connect and expose those databases from your cluster:

• analytics
• career
• checkpointing_db
• desboard
• dogyos
• firu
• hr_database
• lms
• media-manager
• networks
• photographyWeb
• quiz
• quotes
• rest
• restart
• shainvesting
• smartpharmreserve
• softwareForDevs
• tbc
• telegram_bot
• todo
• ttltest
• uniweb
• vulscan
• vulscan-dev
• westgeorgia
• admin
• local

From these possible clusters: rest.nl9di.mongodb.net

A malicious attacker could leak data and get credentials to your or people's services/system, even if you know that no sensible information is stored inside it, it is still very dangerous. I do not know what kind of information your databases hold but a malicious attacker could easily dump all the content, please make sure to follow these steps:

1. Put your secrets in a .env file
2. Use a library like dotenv to load the environment variables from your file onto your code
3. At this point, I would either suggest either using github's tool to erase the history or you could delete the repos on Github, remove the .git folder locally and recreate a new repos with a clean history

In the future make sure to not expose your secrets especially your mongodb uri as it contains your username and password combination. Make sure to create a .env file and load your environment variables into your code accordingly.
