DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in MongoDB Server's query subsystem could allow an authenticated user with read privileges to cause the server process to terminate unexpectedly by submitting a specially formed query filter. This could result in a denial of service.

AnalysisAI

MongoDB Server's query subsystem contains a type confusion flaw (CWE-843) that allows any authenticated user holding read privileges to crash the server process by submitting a specially formed query filter, resulting in a denial of service. The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with VA:H and PR:L reflects the realistic threat: any legitimate database user - including service accounts or compromised low-privilege credentials - can take the database offline with no attack complexity. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain MongoDB read-level credentials
Delivery
Connect to MongoDB over network (port 27017)
Exploit
Craft BSON query filter with type-mismatched values
Execution
Submit filter via query command
Persist
Trigger type confusion in query subsystem
Impact
MongoDB server process crashes (DoS)

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires valid MongoDB credentials with at minimum read privileges on any database accessible on the target server - unauthenticated attackers cannot trigger this flaw, as confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) characterizes this as network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation by any authenticated low-privileged user with no additional prerequisites - a realistic threat in any multi-user or application-connected MongoDB deployment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained valid MongoDB read-level credentials - through phishing, credential stuffing against an exposed endpoint, or a compromised application service account - connects to the MongoDB server over the network and submits a specially crafted query filter containing type-mismatched BSON values designed to trigger the type confusion in the query subsystem. The server process crashes immediately upon evaluating the malformed filter, causing a complete database outage. …
Remediation No vendor-released patched version has been confirmed in the available data at time of analysis; the fix status should be monitored via MongoDB JIRA ticket SERVER-130111 at https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-130111. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all MongoDB Server instances in your environment and their current versions, then immediately restrict database user privileges to limit read access to only essential service accounts and roles. …
