Summary

The GridFS component of the MongoDB Ruby Driver contains an improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic, where a caller-supplied structured file identifier can be interpreted as a query condition rather than a literal identifier. An authenticated user who can influence the identifier may obtain stored file content beyond the intended target or cause all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket to be removed.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to unauthorized data access or data loss by removing file chunks.

Recommendation

Upgrade MongoDB Ruby Driver to a version containing the fix. Validate file identifiers passed to GridFS.

Original NVD description (English source)

Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the GridFS component of the MongoDB Ruby Driver can cause a caller-supplied structured file identifier to be interpreted as a query condition rather than as a literal identifier. An authenticated user who can influence the identifier passed by an affected application may obtain stored file content beyond the intended target or cause all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket to be removed, rendering stored file content unreadable.
