"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 8.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SERVER-106749 advisory.
- MongoDB Server may be susceptible to stack overflow due to JSON parsing mechanism, where specifically
crafted JSON inputs may induce unwarranted levels of recursion, resulting in excessive stack space
consumption. Such inputs can lead to a stack overflow that causes the server to crash which could occur
pre-authorisation. This issue affects MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.17 and MongoDB Server
v8.0 versions prior to 8.0.5. The same issue affects MongoDB Server v6.0 versions prior to 6.0.21, but an
attacker can only induce denial of service after authenticating. (CVE-2025-6710)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
