CVE-2026-82059
Improper Access Restriction of Internal Aggregation Expression in MongoDB Server Leads to Assertion Failure and Denial of Service
CVSS Score
5.3
EPSS Score
0.0%
EPSS Percentile
0th
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.
