"The version of MongoDB installed on the remote host is 6.0 prior to 6.0.21, 7.0 prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0 prior to 
8.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SERVER-106746 advisory.

  - An authenticated user may trigger a use after free that may result in MongoDB Server crash and other 
    unexpected behavior, even if the user does not have authorization to shut down a server. The crash is 
    triggered on affected versions by issuing an aggregation framework operation using a specific combination 
    of rarely-used aggregation pipeline expressions. This issue affects MongoDB Server v6.0 version prior to 
    6.0.21, MongoDB Server v7.0 version prior to 7.0.17 and MongoDB Server v8.0 version prior to 8.0.4 when 
    the SBE engine is enabled. (CVE-2025-6706)

  Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
  number.");
