MongoDB Node.js driver version 2.1.10 represents a minor update over the preceding stable release, version 2.1.9. Both versions provide developers with the official MongoDB driver for Node.js, enabling seamless interaction with MongoDB databases. The core functionality remains consistent, offering robust tools for querying, updating, and managing data within MongoDB deployments.
Key dependencies like es6-promise and readable-stream are preserved, ensuring a stable foundation for asynchronous operations and data handling. However, a crucial distinction lies in the updated mongodb-core dependency. Version 2.1.10 relies on mongodb-core version 1.3.9, while 2.1.9 utilizes 1.3.7. This seemingly minor increment in mongodb-core likely contains bug fixes, performance enhancements, or new features within the core driver logic, potentially leading to improved stability and efficiency when working with the database.
Developers should consider upgrading to version 2.1.10 to benefit from these potential improvements in the underlying mongodb-core library. The developer dependencies which are tools used for development like testing, benchmarking, and documentation generation remained identical, not influencing end-user code compatibility. Release dates highlight a quick succession, suggesting the update addresses pressing issues or introduces valuable refinements. The core functionality of database interactions remains familiar, ensuring a smooth transition for upgrading developers.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 2.1.10 of the package
Denial of Service in mongodb
Versions of mongodb prior to 3.1.13 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. The package fails to properly catch an exception when a collection name is invalid and the DB does not exist, crashing the application.
Upgrade to version 3.1.13 or later.
Deserialization of Untrusted Data in bson
Incorrect parsing of certain JSON input may result in js-bson not correctly serializing BSON. This may cause unexpected application behaviour including data disclosure.
Deserialization of Untrusted Data in bson
All versions of bson before 1.1.4 are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data. The package will ignore an unknown value for an object's _bsontype, leading to cases where an object is serialized as a document rather than the intended BSON type.
