It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-1756 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- mongosh (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.0\n- mongosh (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-1756/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-1756/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-1756","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-1756/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-1756","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f5w3-73h4-jpcm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MongoDB Shell","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges on Windows systems by placing a crafted file in a specific directory, affecting MongoDB Shell users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mongodb","cpe":[{"product":"mongosh","vendor":"mongodb"},{"product":"codeready_linux_builder_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"codeready_linux_builder_for_arm64_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"codeready_linux_builder_for_ibm_z_systems_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"codeready_linux_builder_for_power_little_endian_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_arm_64","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_arm_64_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_aus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_update_services_for_sap_solutions","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"mongosh may be susceptible to local privilege escalation under certain conditions potentially enabling unauthorized actions on a user's system with elevated privilege, when a crafted file is stored in C:\\node_modules\\.
