Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
An internal aggregation expression in MongoDB Server was incorrectly registered as accessible to any authenticated user rather than being restricted to internal cluster operations. By crafting a malformed index specification within this expression, an authenticated user with read-only privileges could trigger an assertion failure in the index key generation code path. In certain build configurations, this assertion failure results in termination of the mongod process, causing a denial of service to all connected clients.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in MongoDB Server allows any authenticated user - including those with only read-only privileges - to crash the mongod process by exploiting an internal aggregation expression that was incorrectly registered as user-accessible rather than restricted to internal cluster operations. Submitting a malformed index specification within this expression triggers an assertion failure (CWE-617) in the index key generation code path. …
