Labs / MongoDB Injector
- Daily Challenge
- Released 05 Sep 2025
🍃 Can you exploit NoSQL queries to bypass their document database security?
A modern user management system relies on MongoDB for secure data storage, implementing document-based authentication and user profiles. But when JSON queries meet insufficient input sanitization, even the most flexible NoSQL databases can become vulnerable to injection attacks. 🎯 Time to test your NoSQL exploitation skills against cutting-edge database technology!

🍃 NoSQL Injection & MongoDB Exploitation
NoSQL injection attacks target document-based databases like MongoDB by exploiting insufficient input validation in query construction. This challenge teaches you how to identify and exploit NoSQL injection vulnerabilities in modern web applications using MongoDB as the backend database.
🎯 What You'll Learn
- ✓ NoSQL injection attack techniques
- ✓ MongoDB query manipulation
- ✓ Authentication bypass in NoSQL
- ✓ Document database exploitation
- ✓ Modern database security assessment
🔍 Challenge Overview
You'll encounter a user management API that uses MongoDB for data storage. The application constructs database queries using direct string concatenation, creating opportunities for NoSQL injection attacks to bypass authentication and extract sensitive information.
