MongoDB Server vulnerability

What happened

An issue in MongoDB Server's Atlas Vector Search feature could allow an authenticated user with read access to one view to retrieve documents from a different, protected view over the same underlying collection. This is due to insufficient handling of certain user-supplied fields when constructing an internal request forwarded to the search process.

Affected versions

MongoDB Server: 8.3.0 through before 8.3.8 (semver); 8.0 through before 8.0.29 (semver); 7.0 through before 7.0.40 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.
