Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in MongoDB Server up to 8.0.27/8.2.11/8.3.6. Affected is the function $search/$searchMeta of the component Atlas Search. The manipulation of the argument $search/$searchMeta with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An issue in the server’s Atlas Search integration allows an authenticated user to bypass per-user access controls. In sharded topologies, the $search and $searchMeta aggregation stages use internal routing that is normally populated only by the trusted router during sharded search planning. Due to insufficient input validation, an authenticated client can supply these fields directly.
