Low-privileged network access sufficient; scope changes because downstream SQL clients lose availability, not just mongosqld itself.

DescriptionCVE.org

A database user able to create a view in a namespace that MongoDB Connector for BI samples can cause the schema-sampling routine to stop functioning by defining a view whose evaluation reliably fails. The sampling logic classifies the resulting server message as transient and, after the configured retries are exhausted, proceeds without a valid result, ending the schema refresh routine. The mongosqld process continues running without a usable schema, so SQL clients are unable to obtain results until an operator removes the view or excludes its namespace from sampling.

AnalysisAI

Schema-sampling denial-of-service in MongoDB Connector for BI allows a low-privileged database user to permanently halt the schema-refresh routine by creating a view in a sampled namespace that reliably fails on evaluation. The mongosqld process misclassifies the persistent failure as transient, exhausts its retry budget, then continues running with no valid schema - leaving all downstream SQL clients unable to retrieve results until an operator manually removes the offending view or excludes the namespace. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must hold a valid MongoDB database account with permission to CREATE VIEW in at least one namespace that mongosqld's sampling configuration includes. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3 accurately reflects the real-world severity: the attack is network-reachable (AV:N), requires no special configuration (AC:L, AT:N), demands only low database privileges (PR:L), and produces high availability impact on both the vulnerable component and subsequent SQL client systems (VA:H, SA:H). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Consult the MongoDB BI Connector release notes at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/bi-connector/current/release-notes/ for a patched release; no exact fix version was confirmed in the provided intelligence, so patch availability should be treated as 'per vendor advisory pending version confirmation.' As an immediate compensating control, restrict view-creation privileges in MongoDB namespaces that mongosqld is configured to sample, limiting this right to trusted administrative users only - note this may conflict with application workflows that rely on user-defined views. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Immediately restrict view creation permissions for low-privileged database users and establish a monitoring alert for schema-refresh failures in the mongosqld process. …
