Mongodb · Mongodb Compass · CVE-2025-1755
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MongoDB Compass versions prior to 1.42.1
**Description**
The issue may allow local privilege escalation under certain conditions, potentially enabling unauthorized actions on a user's system with elevated privileges. This can occur when a crafted file is stored in a specific location, such as `C:
ode modules`.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.42.1, update to version 1.42.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `C:
ode modules` directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
