A compromised third party cloud server or man-in-the-middle attacker could send a malformed HTTP response and cause a crash in applications using the MongoDB C driver.

A specially crafted aggregation query with $lookup by an authenticated user with write privileges can cause a double-free or use-after-free memory issue in the slot-based execution (SBE) engine when an in-memory hash table is spilled to disk.

A use-after-free vulnerability can be triggered in sharded clusters by an authenticated user with the read role who issues a specially crafted $lookup or $graphLookup aggregation pipeline.

An authenticated user with the read role may read limited amounts of uninitialized stack memory via specially-crafted issuances of the filemd5 command.

The mongo-go-driver repository contains CGo bindings for GSSAPI (Kerberos) authentication on Linux and macOS. The C wrapper implementation contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability due to incorrect assumptions about string termination in the GSSAPI standard. Since GSSAPI buffers are not guaranteed to be null-terminated or have extra padding, this results in reading one byte past the allocated heap buffer.

Under specific conditions when processing a maliciously crafted value of type Hash r, Mongoid::Criteria.from_hash may allow for executing arbitrary Ruby code.

An authorized user may disable the MongoDB server by issuing a query against a collection that contains an invalid compound wildcard index.

MongoDB Server may experience an out-of-memory failure while evaluating expressions that produce deeply nested documents. The issue arises in recursive functions because the server does not periodically check the depth of the expression.

Complex queries can cause excessive memory usage in MongoDB Query Planner resulting in an Out-Of-Memory Crash.

Incorrect validation of the profile command may result in the determination that a request altering the 'filter' is read-only.

An authorized user may trigger a server crash by running a $geoNear pipeline with certain invalid index hints.

Connections received from the proxy port may not count towards total accepted connections, resulting in server crashes if the total number of connections exceeds available resources. This only applies to connections accepted from the proxy port, pending the proxy protocol header.

Inserting certain large documents into a replica set could lead to replica set secondaries not being able to fetch the oplog from the primary. This could stall replication inside the replica set leading to server crash.

The internal locking mechanism of the MongoDB server uses an internal encoding of the resources in order to choose what lock to take. Collections may inadvertently collide with one another in this representation causing unavailability between them due to conflicting locks.

A series of specifically crafted, unauthenticated messages can exhaust available memory and crash a MongoDB server.

The MongoDB Shell may be susceptible to control character injection where an attacker with control over the database cluster contents can inject control characters into the shell output. This may result in the display of falsified messages that appear to originate from mongosh or the underlying operating system, potentially misleading users into executing unsafe actions. The vulnerability is exploitable only when mongosh is connected to a cluster that is partially or fully controlled by an attacker. This issue affects mongosh versions prior to 2.3.9

The MongoDB Shell may be susceptible to control character injection where an attacker with control of the user’s clipboard could manipulate them to paste text into mongosh that evaluates arbitrary code. Control characters in the pasted text can be used to obfuscate malicious code. This issue affects mongosh versions prior to 2.3.9

The MongoDB Shell may be susceptible to control character injection where an attacker with control of the mongosh autocomplete feature, can use the autocompletion feature to input and run obfuscated malicious text. This requires user interaction in the form of the user using ‘tab’ to autocomplete text that is a prefix of the attacker’s prepared autocompletion. This issue affects mongosh versions prior to 2.3.9.  The vulnerability is exploitable only when mongosh is connected to a cluster that is partially or fully controlled by an attacker.
