DescriptionCVE.org

Budibase before 3.40.0 contains a NoSQL injection vulnerability in the MongoDB datasource integration where user-supplied parameters are enriched with handlebars using noEscaping: true and parsed without operator filtering. Attackers can inject MongoDB operators through query parameters to bypass per-user access controls, read arbitrary documents, execute JavaScript via $where operators, or modify collections through update and delete operations.

AnalysisAI

NoSQL injection in Budibase's MongoDB datasource integration (versions before 3.40.0) allows any authenticated BASIC user to bypass per-user query-level access controls by injecting MongoDB operators into query parameters. The root cause is Handlebars enrichment configured with noEscaping: true followed by JSON.parse, which promotes attacker-supplied $-prefixed operators directly into MongoDB query documents without filtering - enabling full collection dumps, server-side JavaScript execution via $where, and unauthorized update or delete operations. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Recon
Obtain BASIC user credentials for target app
Delivery
Identify MongoDB-backed query with Handlebars parameter binding
Exploit
Submit crafted payload containing MongoDB $-operator through query parameter
Install
Handlebars renders payload verbatim (noEscaping: true) into query JSON string
C2
JSON.parse promotes injected operator into structured query object
Execute
MongoDB executes injected operator against collection
Impact
Exfiltrate all documents or execute $where JavaScript

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Three conditions must all hold: (1) the attacker possesses a valid, authenticated BASIC user account in the target Budibase application - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible, as confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector; (2) the application uses the MongoDB datasource integration - SQL, REST, and other datasource types follow a separate parameterized code path and are unaffected; (3) at least one MongoDB query is configured with Handlebars parameter bindings that incorporate user-supplied values, specifically the pattern `{"field": "{{ parameterName }}"}` that Budibase's own documentation recommends for per-user data scoping. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N reflects network-accessible exploitation requiring only low-privilege authentication and yielding high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated BASIC user submits a crafted input to a Budibase query parameter that injects a MongoDB operator - for example, supplying a value such as `x", "email": {"$gt": "` that exploits the Handlebars duplicate-key trick to override the builder's `{"email": "{{ currentUser.email }}"}` filter with `{"$gt": ""}`, which matches every document in the collection. Because `noEscaping: true` allows raw quotes and braces through and `JSON.parse` constructs a real object from the enriched string, the injected operator reaches `collection.find()` unmodified and the attacker receives all documents the database connection can access. …
Remediation Upgrade Budibase server to version 3.40.0 or later, which is the fix boundary stated in the CVE description. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Budibase instances and identify those running versions before 3.40.0, then immediately restrict MongoDB datasource access to trusted database administrators through role-based controls, removing query permissions for basic and general users. …
