Summary
An issue in the aggregation framework of MongoDB Server affects versions from 8.3.0 before 8.3.13, from 8.0 before 8.0.34, from 7.0 before 7.0.45, and from 9.0 before 9.0.4. The flaw means certain constant values are mishandled during internal query rewriting (CWE-94). An authenticated user with read access can receive field values in aggregation output that the query did not intend to return.
