CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2026-30833 — Rocket.Chat is an open-source, secure, fully customizable communications platform
Rocket.Chat is an open-source, secure, fully customizable communications platform. Prior to versions 7.10.8, 7.11.5, 7.12.5, 7.13.4, 8.0.2, 8.1.1, and 8.2.0, a NoSQL injection vulnerability exists in Rocket.Chat's account service used in the ddp-streamer micro service that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate MongoDB queries during authentication. The vulnerability is located in the username-based login flow where user-supplied input is directly embedded into a MongoDB query selector without validation. An attacker can inject MongoDB operator expressions (e.g., { $regex: '.*' }) in place of a username string, causing the database query to match unintended user records. This issue has been patched in versions 7.10.8, 7.11.5, 7.12.5, 7.13.4, 8.0.2, 8.1.1, and 8.2.0.

Matched remediation archetype
SQL and data-query injection
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
- Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
- Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.
Remediate safely
- Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
- Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
- Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
