How to Fix CVE-2024-6382

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Mongodb dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

mongodb fixed: 2.8.2 
Upgrade mongodb to 2.8.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for mongodb

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-6382, inspect your project dependencies for Mongodb:

inspect dependencies for mongodb

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Mongodb in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.8.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-228: Improper Handling of Syntactically Invalid Structure, where the product does not handle or incorrectly handles input that is not syntactically well-formed with respect to the associated specification. In Mongodb, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Incorrect handling of certain string inputs may result in MongoDB Rust driver constructing unintended server commands. This may cause unexpected application behavior including data modification. This issue affects MongoDB Rust Driver 2.0 versions prior to 2.8.2
