Description
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.

Impact

An integer overflow in MongoDB Server's query planning component permits an authenticated user with ordinary database‑level read/write privileges to exceed an internal resource limit. Submitting a specially crafted query leads the server to allocate memory without bound during planning, culminating in process termination. The resulting denial of service affects all databases served by the compromised node.

Affected Systems

MongoDB Server. No specific product version is listed in the current data.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.1 and is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, with no EPSS score available. Attack is carried out by an already authenticated user; the attacker must supply a crafted query to trigger the overflow. The impact is a system‑wide denial of service, although no remote code execution or privilege escalation is involved. Risk exists primarily for workloads exposed to authenticated users who have write access to the database.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MongoDB Server to the latest release that contains the patch for the integer overflow in the query planner.
  • Apply least‑privilege access controls: limit or remove write permissions for non‑admin users that could craft complex queries that provoke the overflow.
  • Implement monitoring and automated recovery: track memory consumption and configure automatic restarts or load balancing to mitigate temporary resource exhaustion.
