⚠️ A sneaky sanitization gap in Rocket.Chat could open the door for NoSQL injection! This vulnerability affects server versions <3.13.2, <3.12.4, and <3.11.4.🔥 Think of this vulnerability as a restaurant with a menu that doesn't properly check what ingredients can be added to a dish — if anyone can sneak in anything they want, you might end up with some unexpected surprises on your plate! An attacker could potentially exploit this flaw to execute malicious queries on your server, which might lead to remote code execution (RCE). Imagine someone slipping in a secret sauce that can change your entire recipe — without you even knowing!
