CVE-2026-93764
Description
A flaw was found in Mongoid. When generating the client-side field-level encryption schema, Mongoid may fail to apply encryption rules to fields within embedded models. This oversight can lead to sensitive data, intended for encryption, being stored in plaintext without any indication or error. Consequently, an attacker with routine read access to the database or its backups could access and view this unencrypted information, leading to unauthorized information disclosure.
