Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects MongoDB Server and 1 other product. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

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.
