mongosh is a MongoDB Shell CLI REPL
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Untrusted Search Path due to the handling of crafted files stored in specific directories. An attacker can execute unauthorized actions with elevated privileges by placing a specially crafted file in the C:\node_modules\ directory.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the user has permissions to access and write to system directories.
