A researcher identified severe vulnerabilities in Mongoose, an ODM library crucial for connecting applications to MongoDB, which, if exploited, could grant unauthorized access to databases. The flaws, discovered by Dat Phung of OPSWAT, could enable attackers to execute malicious commands via the $where operator, threatening data integrity and security. Although Mongoose released a patch addressing one flaw, a subsequent vulnerability was found that could still facilitate remote code execution, underscoring the importance of continuous security assessments in widely-used libraries.
Mongoose's vulnerabilities could allow hackers to access MongoDB databases, risking data theft, manipulation, or destruction if not promptly addressed.
