The
mongo-sanitize
library helps prevent MongoDB query injection by replacing prohibited characters in user input with underscores'_'
. This is crucial for security as it protects against potential malicious attacks on the database.To utilize this functionality, the
replaceWith
option is set to'_'
in themongoSanitize
middleware configuration. This ensures that any characters that could potentially alter the behavior of MongoDB queries are replaced, making the input safe to use in database operations.By incorporating this middleware, we enhance the security of the application and reduce the risk of MongoDB injection vulnerabilities
