GHSA-pmpg-2mxq-6xwr: Budibase: NoSQL injection in MongoDB integration: collection dump, $where JS exec, cross-collection pivot, arbitrary update/delete
An end-user injection in Budibase’s MongoDB datasource lets any BASIC app user bypass the builder’s query-level access controls. Builders scope MongoDB reads per-user with bindings like {"email": "{{ currentUser.email }}"} so each app user only sees their own rows. Because the binding is handlebars-enriched into the query JSON with noEscaping: true and then JSON.parsed, Bob (a BASIC user) overrides the builder’s filter with a MongoDB operator and reads every document the connection can touch. SQL datasources are parameterized through interpolateSQL(); the MongoDB path has no equivalent, so the scoping pattern Budibase’s own docs show is unsafe.
