Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A use-after-free security issue exists in the server's query execution memory tracking subsystem. An authenticated user with read privileges can trigger a write to freed heap memory through a sequence of standard database commands, leading to server process crash or potential memory corruption. No user interaction is required.

AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in MongoDB Server 8.3.x (versions 8.3.0 through 8.3.8) allows authenticated users holding read-only privileges to write to freed heap memory by issuing a specific sequence of standard database commands against the query execution memory tracking subsystem. The immediate consequence is a server process crash (denial of service); heap memory corruption may also enable more sophisticated follow-on exploitation. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid MongoDB account with at minimum read privileges - the CVSS PR:L metric confirms authenticated access is mandatory; unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H) reflects a network-reachable flaw requiring low-privilege authentication with no special attack complexity, delivering high integrity and availability impact but no confidentiality breach - consistent with a crash/heap-corruption primitive rather than data exfiltration. … 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 | Upgrade MongoDB Server to version 8.3.9 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch for this use-after-free. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
