## Overview

Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the embedded-document relation handling of the MongoDB integration for Laravel can cause a caller-supplied embedded record identifier to be interpreted as a query condition rather than as a literal identifier. An authenticated user who can influence such an identifier may delete all embedded documents in a targeted record or overwrite an embedded document other than the intended target.

## Affected

- `laravel_mongodb >= 4.0.0, < 5.11.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `laravel_mongodb 5.11.0`
