Network-reachable but requires non-default Kerberos configuration (AC:H, AT:P equivalent); no authentication needed; impact is purely availability with no confidentiality or integrity loss.
Primary rating from Vendor (mongodb).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
An unauthenticated client that can reach a MongoDB Connector for BI deployment configured with Kerberos authentication may cause mongosqld to terminate when a crafted authentication exchange encounters a specific GSSAPI error-handling condition. This can interrupt BI Connector availability until the process restarts.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote process termination in MongoDB Connector for BI (mongosqld) affects deployments explicitly configured with Kerberos authentication. An attacker with network access to the mongosqld listener can send a crafted GSSAPI authentication exchange that triggers a double-free condition in error-handling code, crashing the process and interrupting BI availability until restarted. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target MongoDB BI Connector deployment has been explicitly configured to use Kerberos authentication - this is a non-default setting that must be deliberately enabled by an administrator. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VA:H) scores 8.2, reflecting network reachability with no authentication required and high availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with TCP access to the mongosqld port on a Kerberos-configured BI Connector instance initiates an authentication handshake and injects a malformed or unexpected GSSAPI message engineered to hit the specific error-handling branch containing the double-free. The resulting heap corruption causes mongosqld to terminate immediately. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade MongoDB Connector for BI to version 2.14.30 or later, which resolves the GSSAPI double-free condition. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all MongoDB Connector for BI deployments and identify which are configured with Kerberos authentication. …
