Integer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

An integer overflow in the query planning component of MongoDB Server can allow an authenticated user with ordinary database-level read/write privileges to bypass an internal resource limit. Submitting a specially crafted query causes the server to consume memory without bound during query planning, and the resulting exhaustion terminates the server process. This may result in a denial of service affecting all databases served by the affected node.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

MongoDB Server contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the aggregation framework. An authenticated user with minimal privileges can craft a specially formatted aggregation request that causes the server's authorization subsystem to evaluate a different operation than what is actually executed, resulting in unauthorized read access to collection data within the target database.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H

Insufficient validation of storage engine configuration options in MongoDB Server allows an authenticated user with write privileges to supply crafted parameters during collection creation that override internal storage metadata. This results in an out-of-bounds memory write in the server process, causing a denial of service via server crash, with potential for further impact including arbitrary code execution.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

A security issue in MongoDB Server's query statistics serialization on the router allows users with monitoring privileges to access unredacted search query text from other users' operations. An improper conditional check in the serialization logic causes the data redaction mechanism to be bypassed when processing search queries through the sharded cluster router. This results in sensitive query literals being stored and made accessible through the query statistics interface.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

A security issue in MongoDB Server's diagnostic reporting interface allows an authenticated user with monitoring privileges to access insufficiently protected credentials from concurrent administrative operations. The same credentials are properly redacted in server log output, but the diagnostic interface omits equivalent redaction. Successful exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with monitoring-level permissions and results in exposure of cleartext credentials that could enable impersonation of other users, including privileged accounts.

A security issue in the MongoDB Server's storage engine integration layer allows an authenticated user with collection creation privileges to cause a persistent denial of service. Insufficient validation of user-supplied storage configuration options permits values that, once persisted to durable metadata, trigger a fatal assertion failure when the metadata is subsequently read by diagnostic operations. The corrupted metadata persists across server restarts and is replicated to other cluster members, requiring manual operator intervention to restore service.

A security issue in MongoDB Server allows an unauthenticated network user to cause a denial of service on a specific type of replica set member. The server contains an assertion in its read concern processing logic that can be reached without authentication, and the assertion's assumptions about internal state do not hold for all member configurations, causing the server process to terminate.

A security issue in MongoDB Server allows an authenticated user with elevated internal privileges to bypass a disabled feature gate in the applyOps command by specifying an internal replication mode value that was not intended to be client-selectable. This bypass enables execution of container operations that are disabled by default in production configurations, allowing direct storage-engine writes to arbitrary internal storage tables. The authorization check for these operations validates only the operation's namespace, not the actual storage target, enabling writes to unrelated internal metadata or other collections' data.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L

In MongoDB, insufficient validation of shard key values during document insertion allowed authenticated users to store documents with specially crafted, operator-shaped objects as shard key values in sharded collections. When change stream events for such documents were processed with the updateLookup full document mode, the crafted values were embedded into internal post-image lookup queries without proper sanitization, causing them to be interpreted as query operators rather than literal equality values. This could result in change stream consumers receiving incorrect post-image documents or encountering non-resumable fatal errors.

An internal aggregation expression in MongoDB Server was incorrectly registered as accessible to any authenticated user rather than being restricted to internal cluster operations. By crafting a malformed index specification within this expression, an authenticated user with read-only privileges could trigger an assertion failure in the index key generation code path. In certain build configurations, this assertion failure results in termination of the mongod process, causing a denial of service to all connected clients.

AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A race condition in MongoDB server's text index query parsing can cause a heap use-after-free read when handling upsert retry paths. Under certain concurrent index lifecycle operations, a raw pointer to internal text index metadata may be dereferenced after the underlying structures have been freed, leading to a server crash. An authenticated user with readWrite privileges can trigger this condition through specific concurrent text-search and index management operations, resulting in denial of service for all connected clients.

A security issue exists in MongoDB server's JSON Pointer parser used during $jsonSchema query filter processing. When a find command includes a specially crafted $jsonSchema filter field, the parser processes the input without enforcing adequate limits on iteration count or total allocation size, resulting in significant memory amplification. Under concurrent request load, the cumulative memory consumption can exhaust available heap memory, causing the server's out-of-memory handler to terminate the mongod process and deny service to all connected clients.

Null Pointer Dereference
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A security issue exists in MongoDB's 2dsphere index key generation that can cause a server crash due to a null pointer dereference. When a specially crafted GeoJSON document is inserted into a collection with a 2dsphere index, an inconsistency in geometry parsing can leave an internal object in an invalid, partially initialized state. During subsequent index key generation, access to this improperly initialized object results in a null pointer dereference that terminates the mongod process. An authenticated user with write access can use this to cause a denial of service.
