Summary

The Mongoose software prior to version 8.8.3 contains a vulnerability that allows for improper handling of the $where clause in queries. This can lead to search injection attacks, enabling an attacker to manipulate query results and potentially retrieve unwanted or sensitive information. Users of affected versions are advised to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this security risk.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
