Loading vulnerability…
MongoDB versions prior to 2.0.9 and 2.2.x prior to 2.2.4 contain a vulnerability in the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine's nativeHelper function. The function does not properly validate its input arguments, allowing remote authenticated users to supply a crafted memory address as the first argument. This can result in invalid memory access, leading to a denial of service (server crash), or potentially arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (mongod_native_helper.rb) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2013-1892) in MongoDB 2.2.3 on Linux. The exploit targets the nativeHelper feature in the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine, which can be abused via specially crafted arguments to achieve arbitrary code execution. The module connects to the MongoDB service over TCP (default port 27017), optionally authenticates using provided credentials, and delivers a payload using a heap spray and ROP chain. The payload is customizable and can be any standard Metasploit payload (e.g., reverse shell). The exploit is operational and requires the attacker to have network access to the MongoDB instance, as well as valid credentials if authentication is enabled. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with options for target database, collection, username, and password.
