Report Generation Fails Due to MongoDB Payload Document Size Limit (16MB)

[daronwolff]

Description:

I'm encountering an issue while working on a security assessment report containing 16 vulnerabilities and several images. When I attempt to add a new image, the report generation fails entirely.

Based on the error message, it appears the payload exceeds MongoDB's maximum BSON document size of 16,793,600 bytes (16MB).

Any suggestion?

LOG:

Note that the images are attached using the Text Editor image upload feature which adds it as base64, example:

I tried using the img tag <img src="external-server.png"> but I got same issue.

Let us try to find a solution. I'm guessing the resulting report is over 16 meg. I think I know how to handle this. I'll get back to you shortly.

@daronwolff We have a pull request for this here: #99
We have a more testing todo but to make sure everything is backwards compatible.

Should be fixed in this release: https://github.com/factionsecurity/faction/releases/tag/1.5.0
