You can't retrieve the document in the pre hook.
According to the documentation pre is a query middleware and this refers to the query and not the document being updated.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

If we can't get the document in the pre hook then what is the purpose of pre hook?
There's a hack we can do is getQuery and we can use
mongoose.model('modelName')and do find operation
