== How to fix it in Spring Data MongoDB
|
|
|
|
=== Code examples
|
|
|
|
The following code is an example of a simple API endpoint designed to read public messages. It is vulnerable to NoSQL injection because user-controlled data is inserted directly into a query string. The application assumes that incoming data always has a specific range of characters and ignores that some characters may change the query logic to a malicious one.
|
|
|
|
In this particular case, the query can be exploited with the following values:
|
|
|
|
* ``++username=user1', private:true}},{a:'++``
|
|
|
|
By adapting and inserting these values, an attacker can bypass the `private = false` condition and get access to private messages.

==== Noncompliant code example
|
|
|
|
[source,java,diff-id=3,diff-type=noncompliant]
|
|
----
|
|
@RestController
|
|
public class ApiController {
|
|
@Autowired
|
|
MongoClient mongoClient;
|
|
|
|
@GetMapping(value = "/read")
|
|
@ResponseBody
|
|
List<String> readPublicOnly(@RequestParam(value = "username") String username) {
|
|
MongoOperations template = new MongoTemplate(mongoClient, "demo");
|
|
BasicQuery query = new BasicQuery("{ username:'"+username+"', private: false }"); // Noncompliant
|
|
return template.find(query, String.class, "messages");
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|

|
==== Compliant solution
|
|
|
|
[source,java,diff-id=3,diff-type=compliant]
|
|
----
|
|
@RestController
|
|
public class ApiController {
|
|
@Autowired
|
|
MongoClient mongoClient;
|
|
|
|
@GetMapping(value = "/read")
|
|
@ResponseBody
|
|
List<String> readPublicOnly(@RequestParam(value = "username") String username) {
|
|
MongoOperations template = new MongoTemplate(mongoClient, "demo");
|
|
Query query = Query.query(Criteria.where("username").is(username).and("private").is(false));
|
|
return template.find(query, String.class, "messages");
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
=== How does this work?
|
|
|
|
The compliant solution uses the `Query` and `Critera` objects to build the query syntax safely.
