NoSQLMap is a penetration testing tool that automates injection attacks and exploitation of NoSQL databases and web applications.
The tool addresses security vulnerabilities in NoSQL deployments by identifying and exploiting injection flaws and default configuration weaknesses. It works through a menu-driven interface that guides users through building and executing attacks against target databases or web applications. The approach is modeled after sqlmap, applying similar automation concepts to the NoSQL attack surface rather than traditional SQL injection.
NoSQLMap is suited for security auditors and penetration testers assessing MongoDB and CouchDB deployments. It works best in environments where you have authorization to test NoSQL instances or web applications that use NoSQL backends. The tool is particularly valuable for discovering data exposure risks through injection vulnerabilities and for testing whether databases accept unauthenticated connections with default configurations. Future versions are planned to support Redis and Cassandra, though current focus remains on MongoDB and CouchDB.
Development activity shows consistent maintenance with Docker support added for easier deployment and setup automation provided through shell scripts for Debian and Red Hat systems. The project maintains active communication channels for user questions and suggestions, indicating ongoing engagement with its user base.
