Then it's in the ruby gem of MongoDB's driver for ruby NOT in MongoDB. The title is still misleading for people who do not code in ruby and therefore are not vulnerable to the apparently ever present ruby BSON bug.

A better title would be Mongo gem BSON Injection

I am not trying to nit-pic I was fairly confused when seeing the title because I don't code in ruby and was 99% sure Mongo's core was C not ruby.



This doesn't detract from your point, but Mongo is primarily C++, not C.


It's the title - I'm using the minimal number of words to carry the idea.
