Description
The MongoDB Entity Framework Core provider does not neutralize special elements when it places a caller-supplied value into a bulk update that is expressed as a databasea result, a value supplied as plain data may be interpreted by the database as expression syntax. A part value through normal application input may causeunintended modification of fields in the records the application is updating, and may cause data already held in those records to be relocated into other fields of the same record.

AI Analysis

Impact

The MongoDB Entity Framework Core provider fails to neutralize special characters when inserting caller‑supplied values into a bulk‑update expression. Because MongoDB interprets certain characters as part of its query language, user data can be evaluated as an expression, allowing an attacker to alter fields that were not intended to be modified or to move existing data into other fields. This flaw can result in unintended data corruption and loss of data integrity within affected records.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the MongoDB Entity Framework Core provider. No specific product versions are listed in the CNA data, so any deployment of this provider that includes bulk update logic may be susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.3 indicates a low severity impact. The EPSS score is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited public exploitation knowledge. However, if an attacker can supply data that is processed by a bulk update operation, they could exploit the flaw to modify application data. The risk is primarily for data integrity rather than confidentiality or availability, and the likelihood of exploitation depends on the presence of unescaped user inputs in update logic.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest release of the MongoDB Entity Framework Core Provider that contains the expression neutralization fix.
  • Review all bulk‑update code paths to confirm that any user‑supplied values are properly sanitized or escaped before being sent to MongoDB.
  • Implement input validation rules to reject or escape characters that could be interpreted as MongoDB expressions in update operations.
  • Restrict update operations to explicitly specified fields and avoid passing arbitrary data structures to the database.
