Network-reachable with low privileges; scope changes because server-wide logging is affected beyond the authenticated user's database, yielding S:C with limited integrity and availability impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
An issue in MongoDB Server could allow an authenticated user with limited, database-scoped privileges to modify diagnostic logging settings that affect the entire server rather than just the intended database. This could allow suppression of diagnostic logging server-wide, potentially obscuring unauthorized activity, or degrade operational monitoring by causing excessive log volume.
AnalysisAI
Privilege boundary enforcement failure in MongoDB Server allows an authenticated user holding only database-scoped privileges to modify diagnostic logging parameters at the server-wide level. Affected versions span MongoDB 7.0 (before 7.0.40), 8.0 (before 8.0.29), and 8.3 (before 8.3.8). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated MongoDB session with at least low-level (database-scoped) privileges - unauthenticated access is not sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low privileges - no user interaction needed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has compromised a low-privilege MongoDB database account - for example, a read/write user for a single application database - authenticates to the server and issues a diagnostic log configuration command that suppresses server-wide logging. With audit trails silenced, the attacker then proceeds with lateral data access or privilege escalation while generating no log evidence, significantly increasing dwell time before detection. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade MongoDB Server to a fixed release: 7.0.40 or later for the 7.0 branch, 8.0.29 or later for the 8.0 branch, or 8.3.8 or later for the 8.3 branch, per vendor guidance referenced in EUVD-2026-56918 and SERVER-130198. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
