HighGHSA-mh5c-679w-hh4r

Denial of Service in mongodb

Published 3 Sept 2020 · Updated 31 Aug 2020

Affected package

Affected: <3.1.13
Fixed in: 3.1.13

Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:npm install mongodb@3.1.13

Details

Versions of mongodb prior to 3.1.13 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. The package fails to properly catch an exception when a collection name is invalid and the DB does not exist, crashing the application.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.1.13 or later.

Is GHSA-mh5c-679w-hh4r in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected mongodb, and gives you the command that fixes it.

Scan a project free, no signup Or connect GitHub to scan every repo
