Why did it take them 4 days between publishing a CVE for the vulnerability (Dec 19th) and posting a public patch (Dec 23rd)?

  In the US, the last two weeks of December can be slow due to the holiday season. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mongo wasn’t as staffed as usual.

  That's a good question. I suppose that posting the commit makes it incredibly obvious how to exploit the issue, so maybe they wanted to wait a little bit longer for their on-prem users who were slow to patch?

    Posting the CVE and then the patch is the reverse of this.

      By "patch" I am talking about the public commit. Updated binaries were made available when the CVE was published.
