Summary of the 4.2.2 MongoDB security update
The 4.2.2 security update for MongoDB fixes many bugs, including a critical vulnerability in the authenticated encryption functionality (CVE-2022-3251).
This vulnerability is triggered when a client sends an encrypted request with an incorrect length value in the key field. If the response to the request contains this faulty payload, then it will be decrypted with incorrect data. This allows an attacker to impersonate other users and decrypt confidential information. A fix has been implemented in 4.2.2, so you should update your database as soon as possible!

4.2.2 – Features at a glance
In 4.2.2, there are a few new features. One of them is the option to hide or show your email address on the contact page. Another important feature is that we now have a hidden menu in the navigation bar with quick links to our support forum and community portal. Other minor changes include some visual improvements to our theme and CSS, as well as some bug fixes in the source code of each plugin.
I recommend updating to 4.2.2 if you're currently using it or have updated recently though; otherwise, there might be some glitches you didn't notice before.
