CVE-2019-17426

Automattic Mongoose through 5.7.4 allows attackers to bypass access control (in some applications) because any query object with a _bsontype attribute is ignored. For example, adding "_bsontype":"a" can sometimes interfere with a query filter. NOTE: this CVE is about Mongoose's failure to work around this _bsontype special case that exists in older versions of the bson parser (aka the mongodb/js-bson project).

CVE-2022-2564

Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The Schema.path() function is vulnerable to prototype pollution when setting the schema object. This vulnerability allows modification of the Object prototype and could be manipulated into a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

GHSA-r5xw-q988-826m

Versions of mongoose before 4.3.6, 3.8.39 are vulnerable to remote memory exposure.

Trying to save a number to a field of type Buffer on the affected mongoose versions allocates a chunk of uninitialized memory and stores it in the database.

Recommendation

Update to version 4.3.6, 3.8.39 or later.

CVE-2023-3696

Prototype Pollution in GitHub repository automattic/mongoose prior to 7.3.3, 6.11.3, and 5.13.20.

CVE-2022-24304

Description

Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The Schema.path() function is vulnerable to prototype pollution when setting the schema object. This vulnerability allows modification of the Object prototype and could be manipulated into a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

Proof of Concept

// poc.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const schema = new mongoose.Schema();

malicious_payload = '__proto__.toString'

schema.path(malicious_payload, [String])

x = {}
console.log(x.toString()) // crashed (Denial of service (DoS) attack)

Impact

This vulnerability can be manipulated to exploit other types of attacks, such as Denial of service (DoS), Remote Code Execution, or Property Injection.

CVE-2024-53900

Mongoose versions prior to 8.8.3, 7.8.3, and 6.13.5 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.
