VCID-14hp-t1nh-4bbh Aliases: CVE-2026-42334 GHSA-wpg9-53fq-2r8h	Mongoose's Improper Sanitization of $nor in sanitizeFilter May Allow NoSQL Injection ### Impact This vulnerability allows bypassing Mongoose’s sanitizeFilter query sanitization mechanism via the `$nor` operator. When sanitizeFilter is enabled, Mongoose wraps query operators in `$eq` to neutralize them. However, prior to the fix, `$nor` was not included in the set of logical operators that are recursively sanitized. Because `$nor` accepts an array (like `$and` and `$or`), and arrays do not trigger `hasDollarKeys()`, malicious operators such as `$ne`, `$gt`, or `$regex` could be injected inside a `$nor` clause without being sanitized. This may lead to: - Authentication bypass - Unauthorized data access - Data exfiltration Affected users: Applications that: - Explicitly enable sanitizeFilter - Pass unsanitized user-controlled input directly into query methods (e.g., `Model.findOne(req.body)`) and rely on `sanitizeFilter` to strip out query selectors Applications that validate input schemas, whitelist fields, or avoid passing raw request bodies into queries are not affected. For example, `Model.findOne({ user: req.body.user, pwd: req.body.pwd })` is not affected. ### Patches Patches have been released for all supported Mongoose release lines: - `^6.13.9` - `^7.8.9` - `^8.22.1` - `^9.1.6` ### Workarounds Delete `$nor` keys, use an additional schema validation library, or write middleware to strip out `$nor` from query filters. ### Resources sanitizeFilter documentation: https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/mongoose.html#Mongoose.prototype.sanitizeFilter() Original blog post on sanitizeFilter: https://thecodebarbarian.com/whats-new-in-mongoose-6-sanitizefilter.html	6.13.9 Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities. 7.8.9 Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities. 8.22.1 Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities. 9.1.6 Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-bu2j-qbnd-27ct Aliases: CVE-2024-53900 GHSA-m7xq-9374-9rvx	Mongoose search injection vulnerability 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.	6.13.5 Affected by 2 other vulnerabilities.

VCID-wf9k-8mhk-1fe1 Aliases: CVE-2025-23061 GHSA-vg7j-7cwx-8wgw	Mongoose search injection vulnerability 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.	6.13.6 Affected by 1 other vulnerability. This version is affected by these other vulnerabilities: {{ fixed_by_vuln.vulnerability_id }} 7.8.4 Affected by 1 other vulnerability. This version is affected by these other vulnerabilities: {{ fixed_by_vuln.vulnerability_id }} 8.9.5 Affected by 1 other vulnerability.

VCID-xacy-kytd-zkbh Aliases: CVE-2022-2564 GHSA-f825-f98c-gj3g	automattic/mongoose vulnerable to Prototype pollution via Schema.path 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.	6.4.6 Affected by 4 other vulnerabilities. This version is affected by these other vulnerabilities: {{ fixed_by_vuln.vulnerability_id }} {{ fixed_by_vuln.vulnerability_id }} {{ fixed_by_vuln.vulnerability_id }} {{ fixed_by_vuln.vulnerability_id }}
