CVE-2023-43651Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Host compromise via unrestricted MongoDB Web CLI

Published Sep 27, 2023 · Updated Mar 25, 2025

Code injection in JumpServer 2.0.0 through 2.28.19 and 3.0.0 through 3.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to compromise the host. KoKo forwards Web CLI input into a privileged container's unrestricted Node.js-based mongosh process, where child_process.execSync runs system commands. Access to an authorized MongoDB asset is required; successful execution controls the KoKo container and its Linux host.
