description

Mongoose versions before 6.13.11, 7.8.12, 8.24.3, and 9.9.2 do not enforce configured filter sanitization when countDocuments() is used. An attacker able to control a filter passed to that method may alter count results and affect authorization or other application decisions that rely on them.

mitigation

Upgrade Mongoose to 6.13.11, 7.8.12, 8.24.3, or 9.9.2, as appropriate for the deployed major version. Until upgraded, do not pass untrusted filter values to countDocuments().

fixed in ^6.13.11 || ^7.8.12 || ^8.24.3 || ^9.9.2
