Technical details
The vulnerability exists in Mongoid's handling of externally-supplied field names used in query path construction for embedded documents. The flaw stems from unsafe reflection that does not properly validate or sanitize field names before using them in in-memory query operations. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to exfiltrate stored document data or trigger destructive deletions of database records.
