Description
In Apache CouchDB prior to 3.2.2, an attacker can access an improperly secured default installation without authenticating and gain admin privileges. The CouchDB documentation has always made recommendations for properly securing an installation, including recommending using a firewall in front of all CouchDB installations.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

CouchDB 3.2.2 and onwards will refuse to start with the former default Erlang cookie value of `monster`. Installations that upgrade to this versions are forced to choose a different value. In addition, all binary packages have been updated to bind `epmd` as well as the CouchDB distribution port to `127.0.0.1` and/or `::1` respectively.
