Description Vladimir Vasilev 2026-11-11 08:11:46 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. From 6.0.0 until 6.13.12, 7.8.13, 8.24.7, and 9.11.4, Mongoose stores the connection-level sanitizeFilter option in Connection.config, but Query.prototype._castConditions() and query casting check other option locations and do not read that configuration. An application that enables sanitizeFilter through mongoose.connect() or createConnection() and passes an attacker-controlled object into a query filter therefore receives a connection that reports the defense as enabled while query selector objects remain unsanitized. A crafted password value using a query operator can match an account record without the expected literal password, while global configuration through mongoose.set('sanitizeFilter') and per-query Model.find().sanitizeFilter() remain unaffected. This issue is fixed in versions 6.13.12, 7.8.13, 8.24.7, and 9.11.4.

Reassigning from `epel10` to `epel9`: Bug filed against a branch the package never shipped on.

Comment 2 Michel Lind 2026-11-11 18:43:08 UTC
This CVE is for a different package in a different ecosystem that happens to share a similar name

CVE-2026-125119 is in a different project from Fedora's smplayer:
- smplayer in Fedora: A graphical frontend for mplayer and mpv, not a JavaScript package
- smplayer also declares bundled(mongoose) = 6.11: a copy of another mongoose, built into a package that is not JavaScript
- CVE-2026-125119: Automattic/mongoose, a JavaScript project. Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment.
