description

Affected Mongoose releases can write attacker-controlled values into shared objects when loading documents, processing dotted paths, or merging updates. This can cause process-wide query failures or alter shared schema validation state when an attacker can supply relevant document fields, paths, or update/replacement data.

mitigation

Upgrade mongoose to 6.13.12, 7.8.13, 8.24.7, or 9.11.4, as appropriate for your supported major version. Until upgraded, do not pass untrusted data or paths directly to document construction, dotted-path setters, or update and replacement operations; restrict arbitrary fields in stored documents.

fixed in 6.13.12, 7.8.13, 8.24.7, 9.11.4
