MongoDB Compass vulnerabilities

MongoDB Compass relies on Electron, a third-party runtime that carries its own TLS root certificate store. This root certificate store contains recoverable eMudhra intermediate CA certificates. The issue is resolved by updating to Compass 1.53.1, which includes Electron 44.9.1.

MongoDB Compass improperly escapes certain BSON values when converting a stored view's aggregation pipeline into editable source. When a user connects to a deployment containing a specially crafted view and opens it for editing, the values can cause arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Compass.

MongoDB Compass can interpolate a database name without escaping into the initial input of its embedded MongoDB shell when a user opens the shell from that database's view. A user with privileges to create databases on a server that a Compass user connects to may, under specific conditions, have content evaluated as shell input within the Compass process, with that process's privileges.
