Affected: CleanStart: mongosh

Multiple security vulnerabilities affect the mongosh package. These issues are resolved in later releases. See references for individual vulnerability details.

Handlebars provides the power necessary to let users build semantic templates. In versions 4.0.0 through 4.7.8, `Handlebars.compile()` accepts a pre-parsed AST object in addition to a template string. The `value` field of a `NumberLiteral` AST node is emitted directly into the generated JavaScript without quoting or sanitization. An attacker who can supply a crafted AST to `compile()` can therefore inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript, leading to Remote Code Execution on the server. Version 4.7.9 fixes the issue. Some workarounds are available. Validate input type before calling `Handlebars.compile()`; ensure the argument is always a `string`, never a plain object or JSON-deserialized value. Use the Handlebars runtime-only build (`handlebars/runtime`) on the server if templates are pre-compiled at build time; `compile()` will be unavailable.

Affected: npm: handlebars

## Summary

`Handlebars.compile()` accepts a pre-parsed AST object in addition to a template string. The `value` field of a `NumberLiteral` AST node is emitted directly into the generated JavaScript without quoting or sanitization. An attacker who can supply a crafted AST to `compile()` can therefore inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript, leading to Remote Code Execution on the server.

## Description

`Handlebars.compile()` accepts either a template string or a pre-parsed AST. When an AST is supplied, the JavaScript code generator in `lib/handlebars/compiler/javascript-compiler.js` emits `NumberLiteral` values verbatim:

```javascript // Simplified representation of the vulnerable code path: // NumberLiteral.value is appended to the generated code without escaping compiledCode += numberLiteralNode.value; ```

Because the value is not wrapped in quotes or otherwise sanitized, passing a string such as `{},{})) + process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execFileSync('id').toString() //` as the `value` of a `NumberLiteral` causes the generated `eval`-ed code to break out of its intended context and execute arbitrary commands.

Any endpoint that deserializes user-controlled JSON and passes the result directly to `Handlebars.compile()` is exploitable.

## Proof of Concept

Server-side Express application that passes `req.body.text` to `Handlebars.compile()`:

```Javascript import express from "express"; import Handlebars from "handlebars";

const app = express(); app.use(expr…
