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-2026-125120/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-125120/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-125120","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-125120/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-125120","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pcrw-h46h-c93h"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-943","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic"}],"description":"Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. Prior to 6.13.11, 7.8.12, 8.24.3, and 9.9.2, Mongoose countDocuments() does not apply the configured sanitizeFilter query selector injection defense. An application that enables sanitizeFilter and passes attacker-controlled filter values to countDocuments() can therefore process query operator objects as operators rather than literal values, causing the count to include documents that should not match and potentially undermining authorization or application logic based on that count. This issue is fixed in versions 6.13.11, 7.8.12, 8.24.3, and 9.9.2.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Mongoose: sanitizeFilter not applied on countDocuments","id":"CVE-2026-125120","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"compose-lint: Text in a pull request can still issue CI workflow commands through compose-lint 0.31.0's output","id":"CVE-2026-125121"},"nickname":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["6.13.11"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mongoose","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pcrw-h46h-c93h"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["7.8.12"],"introduced":["7.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mongoose","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pcrw-h46h-c93h"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["8.24.3"],"introduced":["8.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mongoose","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pcrw-h46h-c93h"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["9.9.2"],"introduced":["9.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mongoose","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pcrw-h46h-c93h"}],"prev":{"headline":"Mongoose: Connection-level sanitizeFilter not applied","id":"CVE-2026-125119"},"products":["mongoose"],"published":"2026-11-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-11-09","vendors":["Automattic"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-125120/"}
