The $internalIndexKey aggregation expression can be used by any authenticated user to crash a MongoDB server (mongod). The expression fails to handle compound wildcard index specifications, triggering an internal consistency check that aborts the server process. The user must be able to run an aggregation pipeline.

An authenticated user with limited read privileges may be able to access documents from collections they are not authorized to read, due to an inconsistency in how the $graphLookup aggregation stage is evaluated during authorization and during execution. Affected scenarios involve collections referenced within existing view pipeline definitions.

An authenticated user may be able to view session metadata belonging to other users on the system through the $listSessions aggregation stage. This information is normally restricted to users with cluster-level administrative privileges, and includes active session identifiers, associated usernames, and activity timestamps.

An authenticated user with low privileges may be able to perform unauthorized reads and writes on data protected by role-based query-level access controls, due to insufficient validation of certain client-supplied command parameters. The issue affects find, update, delete, and aggregate commands in non-apiStrict configurations.

Improper handling of DBPointer objects during BSON serialization in MongoDB's server-side JavaScript engine can result in internal process memory contents being included in data returned to the client. This constitutes an unintended information disclosure affecting deployments that use server-side JavaScript.

An unauthenticated remote client can cause excessive CPU consumption on a MongoDB server by sending a specific combination of parameters to the awaitable hello command in exhaust mode. The server's handling of this combination results in a response loop that bypasses normal throttling, allowing a small number of connections to degrade server availability.

When compute mode is enabled on a standalone mongod instance, insufficient validation of externally sourced BSON data during aggregation pipeline processing can result in memory corruption, potentially leading to process termination or other unintended behavior. This configuration is non-default and requires explicit enablement at startup.

An authenticated user with write privileges on a Queryable Encryption-enabled collection may be able to modify internal encryption metadata fields that are intended to be server-controlled, by sending crafted write commands through the mongos router on a sharded cluster. This can result in corruption of encrypted query correctness.

An authenticated user can cause excessive CPU consumption or out-of-memory conditions on a MongoDB server by sending a crafted Queryable Encryption find payload containing an unvalidated field used to control an internal computation loop. The resulting resource exhaustion degrades availability for other operations.

A user with read-only privileges is able to craft an aggregation pipeline using the $linearFill window function operator with a specific sortBy expression type to cause the mongod process to terminate abnormally, resulting in denial of service. The issue stems from insufficient validation of sort specifications during execution.

A missing bounds check in the BSON CodeWScope element accessors allows an attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds heap read via a crafted aggregation pipeline. The vulnerability can be exploited by an authenticated user by generating a malformed BSONColumn data containing a CodeWScope element, bypassing wire-level BSON validation. When the forged element is decompressed, the unchecked size value is used in pointer arithmetic, causing either a server crash or disclosure of adjacent heap memory contents.

A vulnerability was discovered in MongoDB Server where the server-side MozJS scripting engine unconditionally registered a module loading hook that enables JavaScript calls to read arbitrary files from the host filesystem using the mongod process's privileges. An authenticated user could exploit this through crafted aggregation pipeline commands to read sensitive files accessible to the MongoDB server process.

An authenticated user holding cursor termination privileges on one database may incorrectly be permitted to terminate active cursors on a separate database, disrupting ongoing query operations for other users. The behavior stems from an authorization check that does not correctly scope privileges to the appropriate namespace.

An authenticated user with read access can cause the mongod process to be terminated through certain aggregation expressions that execute server-side JavaScript. The issue involves improper memory handling during document processing.

During query planning when reading the sort pattern in raw BSONObj form, in some places we don’t explicitly handle the meta expression case. This may lead to incorrect transformations leading to invariant failure.

A MongoDB server initiating an outbound TLS connection may terminate abnormally when processing a malformed OCSP response from a remote peer during the TLS handshake. OCSP stapling validation is enabled by default for outgoing TLS connections. Affected scenarios require the remote peer to hold a certificate issued by the cluster's trusted certificate authority, or for the connection to traverse an untrusted network path.

An issue in MongoDB Server's handling of certain query predicates against time-series collections with a metaField could allow an authenticated user with write access to cause the server process to terminate unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service.

An issue in MongoDB Server could allow an authenticated user with direct network access to a shard to improperly commit or abort an in-progress prepared transaction, bypassing the intended transaction coordination process. This could result in cross-shard data inconsistency, cluster clock corruption, and violation of transaction atomicity guarantees.

An issue in MongoDB Server could allow an authenticated user with a limited database-scoped role to perform an action against protected system collections that their assigned privileges should not permit. This could result in critical system collections being dropped and recreated without proper authorization.

An issue in MongoDB Server's Atlas Vector Search feature could allow an authenticated user with read access to one view to retrieve documents from a different, protected view over the same underlying collection. This is due to insufficient handling of certain user-supplied fields when constructing an internal request forwarded to the search process.

An issue in MongoDB Server's intra-cluster connection setup could allow a party with suitable network access to influence which authentication mechanism is used when one replica set member connects to another. Under certain conditions, this could cause the cluster's shared internal credential to be transmitted in a less-protected form, potentially allowing that credential to be recovered. If recovered, the credential could be used to authenticate as the internal superuser to nodes in the deployment.

An issue in MongoDB Server's query subsystem could allow an authenticated user with read privileges to cause the server process to terminate unexpectedly by submitting a specially formed query filter. This could result in a denial of service.

An issue in MongoDB Server's geospatial query processing could allow an authenticated user with write privileges to cause certain malformed geometry data to be stored and later processed without proper validation. Subsequent queries against this data could then result in the server accessing memory outside its intended bounds. This could result in a server crash (denial of service) and may expose a limited amount of server process memory.

An issue in MongoDB Server's applyOps command could allow an authenticated user with specific non-default privileges to perform certain data-definition operations, such as dropping or modifying collections, against collections they do not have permission to manipulate. This is due to an inconsistency in how the target collection is determined between the authorization check and the actual operation.

An issue in MongoDB Server's query planner could allow an authenticated user with read-level privileges to cause the server process to terminate unexpectedly by submitting a specially formed query against a collection with a text index. This could result in a denial of service, affecting connected clients and in-flight operations.

An issue in MongoDB Server's handling of timeseries collections could allow an authenticated user with write privileges to cause an internal data structure to become inconsistent through certain document insertions. A subsequent insert into the affected bucket could then result in the server accessing memory outside its intended bounds, potentially causing a server crash (denial of service), exposure of limited memory contents, or memory corruption.

An issue in MongoDB Server's aggregation framework could allow an authenticated user to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read by providing a specially formed numeric parameter in a certain aggregation pipeline stage. This could result in a server crash (denial of service) and may potentially expose a limited amount of memory contents.

An issue in MongoDB Server could allow an authenticated user with a limited database-scoped role to perform an action against protected system collections that should require more specific privileges. This could result in exposure of collection metadata and, on certain deployment configurations, unauthorized modification of system collection data.

An issue in MongoDB Server's aggregation framework could allow an unauthenticated party to cause a mongos (router) process to terminate unexpectedly by submitting a specially formed aggregation command. This could result in a denial of service, disrupting client connections routed through the affected mongos instance.

An issue in MongoDB Server's geospatial validation could allow an authenticated user with write privileges to cause an internal reference to be used after the underlying memory has been freed, through concurrent operations against a collection using a certain type of validator. This could result in a server crash, leading to a denial of service.
