There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities. However, administrators may choose to restrict MongoDB access to IP addresses of the PON Manager and each Cisco IOS XR Software PON Controller. For help with implementing these restrictions, refer to the MongoDB documentation.

While this mitigation has been deployed and was proven successful in a test environment, customers should determine the applicability and effectiveness in their own environment and under their own use conditions. Customers should be aware that any workaround or mitigation that is implemented may negatively impact the functionality or performance of their network based on intrinsic customer deployment scenarios and limitations. Customers should not deploy any workarounds or mitigations before first evaluating the applicability to their own environment and any impact to such environment.
