CVE-2026-93759

Mongoid does not neutralize a string-typed query criterion supplied to its query builder, and instead passes it to the database as a server-side JavaScript expression. An unauthenticated party able to influence the value an application supplies as a query argument may cause code of their choosing to be evaluated by the database engine. This may result in unintended disclosure of stored field values, unintended selection of documents for application-initiated writes, and reduced database performance.

What this means for your business

  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.

What to do

  1. 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
