Summary

In MongoDB, insufficient validation of shard key values during document insertion allowed authenticated users to store documents with specially crafted, operator-shaped objects as shard key values in sharded collections. When change stream events for such documents were processed with the updateLookup full document mode, the crafted values were embedded into internal post-image lookup queries without proper sanitization, causing them to be interpreted as query operators rather than literal equality values. This could result in change stream consumers receiving incorrect post-image documents or encountering non-resumable fatal errors.

Risk Assessment

Risk of malfunctioning change streams and potential data leakage or service disruption for consumers.

Recommendation

Apply MongoDB security patches, restrict write privileges to sharded collections, and validate shard key values before insertion.
