**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** express-restify-mongoose versions 2.4.2 and earlier express-restify-mongoose versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.1 **Description** The issue allows a malicious user to send a request for "GET /User?distinct=password" and get all the passwords for all the users in the database, despite the field being set to private. This can be used for other private data if the malicious user knew what was set as private for specific routes. A malicious user can exploit this to access fields on a model even if those fields are marked as private. **Recommendations** For express-restify-mongoose version 2.x: Update to version 2.5.0 or later. For express-restify-mongoose version 3.x: Update to version 3.1.0 or later.
