Payload has an SQL Injection via Query Handling
Impact
Certain request inputs were not properly validated. An attacker could craft requests that influence SQL query execution, potentially exposing or modifying data in collections.
Patches
This issue has been fixed in v3.79.1 and later. Query input validation has been hardened.
Upgrade to v3.79.1 or later.
Workarounds
Until developers can upgrade:
- Limit access to endpoints that accept dynamic query inputs to trusted users only.
- Validate or sanitize input from untrusted clients before sending it to query endpoints.
