CVE-2026-13073
An authenticated user with read-only privileges can cause the mongod process to terminate abnormally by issuing a crafted aggregation command, resulting in denial of service for all connected clients until the process is restarted.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An authenticated user with read-only privileges can cause the mongod process to terminate abnormally by issuing a crafted aggregation command, resulting in denial of service for all connected clients until the process is restarted. The issue stems from an internal engine selection inconsistency triggered by a specific combination of aggregation options.
