Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The @apostrophecms/import-export npm package, versions before 3.7.0, is affected. An archive can include an update-key property whose value is a MongoDB query operator, such as { $ne: null }, and the import uses that value to match and overwrite an existing document. An attacker needs an authenticated session with import access to the target type, such as the built-in contributor role, and no admin interaction. The source reports that a matched document can be overwritten even when the importer did not specify its identifying field. Upgrade to version 3.7.0 or later.
