Important: Exposed MongoDB cluster in your code #1

Description

Warning

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

Hey syedashar1, 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/syedashar1/Nextjs-Ecommerce/blob/826252b09d8ca24bf096257704bb41d051353378/utils/db.js.

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

  • AsharPortfolio
  • CoderPartner
  • Crud_GraphQL
  • ERMnew
  • FragFam
  • Hater
  • Hater2
  • InstaNew
  • Khadamni
  • KhadamniPro
  • Memes
  • NextAmazona
  • Test3
  • TestStore
  • TypeScriptTry
  • Zarthon
  • amazonaDB
  • ashardb
  • nest_graphQL
  • nest_signup
  • presale
  • sample_restaurants
  • sample_supplies
  • sample_training
  • sample_weatherdata
  • test
  • admin
  • local

From these possible clusters: cluster0.ybb8j.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.
