advisories (2)

Vendor and ecosystem advisories describing this.

GHSA-vg7j-7cwx-8wgwMongoose search injection vulnerability2025-01-15ghsa · osvUS
Mongoose versions prior to 8.9.5, 7.8.4, and 6.13.6 are vulnerable to improper use of the `$where` operator. This vulnerability arises from the ability of the `$where` clause to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in MongoDB queries, potentially leading to code injection attacks and unauthorized access or manipulation of database data. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-53900.
