Security rules for MongoDB queries and interactions (NoSQL injection).

Description
This plugin provides Security rules for MongoDB queries and interactions (NoSQL injection).
Philosophy
Interlace fosters strength through integration. Instead of stacking isolated rules, we interlace security directly into your workflow to create a resilient fabric of code. We believe tools should guide rather than gatekeep, providing educational feedback that strengthens the developer with every interaction.

๐ข Usage Examples
Prevent NoSQL Injection (no-operator-injection)
// โ Incorrect (Vulnerable to { $ne: null })
User.findOne({ email: req.body.email, password: req.body.password });
// โ
Correct (Safe execution)
User.findOne({ email: { $eq: email }, password: { $eq: password } });Prevent JavaScript Injection (no-unsafe-where)
// โ Incorrect (Allows RCE)
User.find({ $where: `this.name === '${userInput}'` });
// โ
Correct (Standard operators)
User.find({ name: { $eq: sanitize(userInput) } });๐ฆ Compatibility
