Description

All versions of bson before 1.1.4 are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data. The package will ignore an unknown value for an object’s _bsontype, leading to cases where an object is serialized as a document rather than the intended BSON type.

Recommendation

Update the bson package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

  • Affected version(s): < 1.1.4
  • Patched version(s): 1.1.4
