GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2024-53900

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.

CVE-2025-23061

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.

Code review by ChatGPT

[github-actions]

Code review:

1. Update of the mongoose version from "8.2.2" to "8.8.3" might cause compatibility issues with existing code that relies on specific features or behavior of the previous version. It is recommended to thoroughly test the application after the update to ensure that everything works as expected.

2. Consider adding a dependency version range instead of specifying an exact version for the packages. This can help prevent issues with dependency conflicts and allows for flexibility in updating dependencies in the future.

3. It's good practice to update the dependencies regularly to ensure that the application benefits from performance improvements, bug fixes, and security patches provided by newer versions.

4. As with any code changes, be sure to test thoroughly before deploying to production to catch any potential issues that may arise from the updates.

[github-actions]

Overall, the code patch seems to be updating various dependencies to their latest versions. Here are some observations:

1. Updated versions of dependencies such as "@mongodb-js/saslprep" and "bson" have been included, which is a good practice to ensure the latest features and security updates.
2. The "mongoose" dependency has also been updated to the latest version, which is important for compatibility and utilizing the latest features.
3. Some dependencies like "kareem" and "sift" have been updated to newer versions which may contain bug fixes and improvements.

Code Review:

1. The patch updates the version of the "mongoose" library from 8.2.2 to 8.9.5. This seems like a simple version upgrade and should not introduce any bugs if the new version is stable.
2. It's always a good practice to double-check the release notes or changelog of the library being updated to ensure that there are no breaking changes or deprecations that might affect the existing codebase.
3. It would be beneficial to run thorough regression tests after the update to ensure that all functionalities are still working as expected with the new version.
4. Apart from the version update, the patch seems minimal and focused. If there are other changes or enhancements needed, they could be included in a separate patch to maintain a clean and structured code review process.
