Mongodb: >> Mongodb >> 7.0.18 Security Vulnerabilities
An issue in MongoDB Server could allow an authenticated user with a limited database-scoped role to perform an action against protected system collections that their assigned privileges should not permit. This could result in critical system collections being dropped and recreated without proper authorization.

An issue in MongoDB Server's intra-cluster connection setup could allow a party with suitable network access to influence which authentication mechanism is used when one replica set member connects to another. Under certain conditions, this could cause the cluster's shared internal credential to be transmitted in a less-protected form, potentially allowing that credential to be recovered. If recovered, the credential could be used to authenticate as the internal superuser to nodes in the deployment.

An unauthenticated remote client can cause excessive CPU consumption on a MongoDB server by sending a specific combination of parameters to the awaitable hello command in exhaust mode. The server's handling of this combination results in a response loop that bypasses normal throttling, allowing a small number of connections to degrade server availability.

A missing bounds check in the BSON CodeWScope element accessors allows an attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds heap read via a crafted aggregation pipeline. The vulnerability can be exploited by an authenticated user by generating a malformed BSONColumn data containing a CodeWScope element, bypassing wire-level BSON validation. When the forged element is decompressed, the unchecked size value is used in pointer arithmetic, causing either a server crash or disclosure of adjacent heap memory contents.

A vulnerability was discovered in MongoDB Server where the server-side MozJS scripting engine unconditionally registered a module loading hook that enables JavaScript calls to read arbitrary files from the host filesystem using the mongod process's privileges. An authenticated user could exploit this through crafted aggregation pipeline commands to read sensitive files accessible to the MongoDB server process.

An authenticated user holding cursor termination privileges on one database may incorrectly be permitted to terminate active cursors on a separate database, disrupting ongoing query operations for other users. The behavior stems from an authorization check that does not correctly scope privileges to the appropriate namespace.

An authenticated user can cause excessive CPU consumption or out-of-memory conditions on a MongoDB server by sending a crafted Queryable Encryption find payload containing an unvalidated field used to control an internal computation loop. The resulting resource exhaustion degrades availability for other operations.

A MongoDB server initiating an outbound TLS connection may terminate abnormally when processing a malformed OCSP response from a remote peer during the TLS handshake. OCSP stapling validation is enabled by default for outgoing TLS connections. Affected scenarios require the remote peer to hold a certificate issued by the cluster's trusted certificate authority, or for the connection to traverse an untrusted network path.

An authenticated user with read access can cause the mongod process to be terminated through certain aggregation expressions that execute server-side JavaScript. The issue involves improper memory handling during document processing.

When compute mode is enabled on a standalone mongod instance, insufficient validation of externally sourced BSON data during aggregation pipeline processing can result in memory corruption, potentially leading to process termination or other unintended behavior. This configuration is non-default and requires explicit enablement at startup.
