CVE-2026-8199

Use of freed memory in the aggregation feature of MongoDB Server can cause the server to read data from a memory area after it has been released when an internal aggregation stage is combined with a batch size of 0. Query results returned to the client may contain unrelated data from the server process, and the server process may also terminate unexpectedly.

MongoDB Server's collection validation feature may not properly handle certain expressions stored in a validator. In some cases, this can cause the server process to stop running when a document is later inserted. The behavior can occur for authenticated users with write access.

An issue in MongoDB Server's aggregation framework can cause certain constant values to be handled incorrectly during internal query rewriting. Under certain conditions, an authenticated user with read access may receive field values in aggregation output that the query did not intend to return.

A race condition in the document value layer of MongoDB Server allows concurrent server threads to operate on the same internal memory without synchronization, leading to memory corruption. An authenticated user with ordinary read-write privileges on a database can trigger this condition over the normal client protocol.

An integer overflow in the query planning component of MongoDB Server can allow an authenticated user with ordinary database-level read/write privileges to bypass an internal resource limit. Submitting a specially crafted query causes the server to consume memory without bound during query planning, and the resulting exhaustion terminates the server process. This may result in a denial of service affecting all databases served by the affected node.

MongoDB Server contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the aggregation framework. An authenticated user with minimal privileges can craft a specially formatted aggregation request that causes the server's authorization subsystem to evaluate a different operation than what is actually executed, resulting in unauthorized read access to collection data within the target database.

A security issue in the MongoDB Server aggregation framework allows an authenticated user with limited read privileges to bypass view-level authorization checks and access data from unauthorized collections when Atlas Search features are in use. The issue stems from insufficient validation of an internal command parameter that can be set by external clients, causing a security check to be improperly skipped.

Insufficient validation of storage engine configuration options in MongoDB Server allows an authenticated user with write privileges to supply crafted parameters during collection creation that override internal storage metadata. This results in an out-of-bounds memory write in the server process, causing a denial of service via server crash, with potential for further impact including arbitrary code execution.

A security issue in MongoDB Server's diagnostic reporting interface allows an authenticated user with monitoring privileges to access insufficiently protected credentials from concurrent administrative operations. The same credentials are properly redacted in server log output, but the diagnostic interface omits equivalent redaction. Successful exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with monitoring-level permissions and results in exposure of cleartext credentials that could enable impersonation of other users, including privileged accounts.
