Authorization Bypass via Client-Supplied $search.mergingPipeline Leaks Unauthorized Collection Data Through $$SEARCH_META

An issue in the server’s Atlas Search integration allows an authenticated user to bypass per-user access controls. In sharded topologies, the $search and $searchMeta aggregation stages use internal routing that is normally populated only by the trusted router during sharded search planning. Due t...

Authenticate command with specific mechanism parameter can trigger server crash

When OIDC authentication is enabled in configuration, clients may set specific values in the "mechanism" parameter of the "authenticate" command that lead to server crash. The authenticate command is accessible to unauthenticated clients, leading to pre-auth denial-of-service in affected product...

Heap memory out of bounds read and crash in C Driver legacy GridFS file reader

The MongoDB C Driver's legacy GridFS API accepts malformed file metadata from the database without adequate validation. Crafted documents in a GridFS collection may cause any application that reads those files via the legacy API to either crash via a division-by-zero or silently leak process memo...

Server crash via malformed binary diff passed to $_internalApplyOplogUpdate.

The $internalApplyOplogUpdate aggregation pipeline stage can be used to execute a document diff containing a malformed binary diff to return memory out-of-bounds or crash the server. $internalApplyOplogUpdate can be executed by any authenticated user with access to the aggregate command...

GeometryCollection with strict-winding polygon causes server crash during 2dsphere index key generation

An authorized user could trigger a server crash by running a query with a 2dsphere index on a field that stores a GeoJSON GeometryCollection containing a Polygon with a strict-winding CRS.

Improper Authorization in MongoDB Aggregation Framework Allows Read-Only User to Perform Unauthorized Write Operations

An issue in MongoDB Server's aggregation framework could allow an authenticated user with only read privileges to perform write operations against collections they should not be able to modify. This is due to an internal-use aggregation stage being reachable by external clients without an...

libmongocrypt Improper Input Validation Leading to Process Termination

An authenticated user with standard read/write privileges can cause the mongod process to terminate due to an out-of-memory condition by sending a crafted aggregation command. MongoDB's libmongocrypt library insufficiently validates payload-supplied values, which can result in an excessively larg...

Internal ResourceId collision may affect unrelated collections

The internal locking mechanism of the MongoDB server uses an internal encoding of the resources in order to choose what lock to take. Collections may inadvertently collide with one another in this representation causing unavailability between them due to conflicting locks...

Malformed KMIP response may result in access violation

The KMIP response parser built into mongo binaries is overly tolerant of certain malformed packets, and may parse them into invalid objects. Later reads of this object can result in read access violations...

Cross-tenant database retargeting via dot/NUL injection in namespace strings in the PHP Driver

The MongoDB client library for PHP does not sufficiently sanitize special elements in application-supplied namespace identifiers before using them to construct the target namespace for database operations. An application that incorporates untrusted text into these identifiers may have operations...

Aggregation sub-pipeline null dereference may allow DoS via crafted getMore

In MongoDB Server 8.0, an aggregation stage can leave its subPipeline field null during processing of certain pipelines. If a getMore is subsequently issued on the same cursor, the server may dereference this null sub-pipeline when reattaching to the operation context, accessing an invalid addres...

Post-auth memory exhaustion via bitwise match expressions

An authenticated user can cause excess memory usage via bitwise match expression AST processing of $bitsAllSet, $bitsAnySet, $bitsAllClear, and $bitsAnyClear. This contributes to memory pressure and may lead to availability loss by OOM. This issue impacts MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to...

Post-auth null pointer dereference when aggregating against a view with empty search pipeline

An authenticated user can crash mongod when running $rankFusion or $scoreFusion with an empty pipeline on a view. When resolving a view, the server inspects the aggregation pipeline to determine whether it begins with an Atlas Search stage. For $rankFusion and $scoreFusion, this inspection reads...

tlsCATrusts Role Restriction Not Enforced via PROXY Protocol v2 on Unix Domain Socket

When PROXY protocol v2 is used on the Unix domain socket path, roles derived from X.509 client certificates may not be validated against the configured tlsCATrusts allow-list. This can result in unintended role assignments following MONGODB-X509 authentication. Affected scenarios require local...

MongoDB Improper Input Validation in Compute Mode External Data Processing Leading to Memory Corruption

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...

Using MaxKey() may crash the server

This issue can occur when running an aggregation pipeline that uses the internal $exchange stage configured with key-range partitioning and order-preserving delivery. If a single key range produces enough documents to fill its exchange buffer that is, many results are routed to the same consumer,...

$_internalConvertBucketIndexStats may crash the mongod server when working on no timeseries input

The $internalConvertBucketIndexStats stage used PauseExecution as a way to signal "skip this document" when an index stats conversion failed. But PauseExecution is not a general purpose skip mechanism, but rather a TeeBuffer-internal signal used solely by $facet to coordinate its sub-pipelines...

Client side encryption fails to encrypt values in a $vectorSearch

A bug in query analysis processing of the $vectorSearch aggregation stage for Queryable Encryption QE or Client-Side Field Level Encryption CSFLE results in literal values for encrypted fields within the $vectorSearch stage filter expressions to be sent to the server as plaintext instead of...

Users could trigger a crash of mongod primaries during promotion to sharded

A user with access to the cluster with a limited set of privilege actions can trigger a crash of a mongod process during the limited and unpredictable window when the cluster is being promoted from a replica set to a sharded cluster. This may cause a denial of service by taking down the primary o...
