Is BasicDBObject.parse() secure against NoSQL injection attacks?
I'm using the mongo-java-driver for connection to my MongoDB.
So my questions are about using MongoDB with a Java client:
- Is
com.mongodb.BasicDBObject.parse(userInput)secure against NoSQL injection attacks? - Or do I have to sanitize the userInput String before parsing?
- If I have to sanitize the input: Are there special methods for sanitizing shipped with mongo-java-driver?
- Or shall I use
basicDBObject.put( "foo", "bar" )instead?
The MongoDB documentation describes a strict mode:
- Does this strict mode sanitize the input?
- How do I activate the strict mode when parsing?
The OWASP guide describe several MongoDB injection attacks.
And it is unclear, if BasicDBObject.parse() sanitizes the input itself.

- com.mongodb.BasicDBObject.parse() is not safe against NOSQL Injection
- sanitizing is a good thing for fighting against Injection in general but is not enought
- There is some OWASP guidelines here for fighting NOSQL Injection : https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Injection_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet_in_Java#Example_-_MongoDB
I recommend you to have a look at Hibernate OGM if you want to do parametrization of the query : http://hibernate.org/ogm/documentation/. Parametrization is the only solution for fighting Injection
