Technical details
The vulnerability exists in MongoDB Compass's conversion of a stored view's aggregation pipeline into editable source code, where certain BSON values are improperly escaped. This allows injection of malicious code that executes when a user opens the view for editing. The attack requires network access to a MongoDB deployment and for a user to interact with the malicious view, but does not require prior authentication to Compass itself.
