What is CVE-2019-19729?
CVE-2019-19729 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 11 Dec 2019. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An issue was discovered in the BSON ObjectID (aka bson-objectid) package 1.3.0 for Node.js. ObjectID() allows an attacker to generate a malformed objectid by inserting an additional property to the user-input, because bson-objectid will return early if it detects _bsontype==ObjectID in the user-input object. As a result, objects in arbitrary forms can bypass formatting if they have a valid bsontype.
Weakness: CWE-670
