Mongoose search injection vulnerability

Mongoose versions prior to 8.8.3, 7.8.3, and 6.13.5 are vulnerable to improper use of the $where operator. This vulnerability arises from the ability of the $where clause to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in MongoDB queries, potentially leading to code injection attacks and unauthorized access or manipulation of database data.
