Unknown Unknown - Not Provided
BaseFortify

Publication date: 2025-06-26

Last updated on: 2025-09-15

Assigner: MongoDB, Inc.

Description
The MongoDB Server is susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability due to improper handling of specific date values in JSON input when using OIDC authentication. This can be reproduced using the mongo shell to send a malicious JSON payload leading to an invariant failure and server crash. This issue affects MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.17 and MongoDB Server v8.0 versions prior to 8.0.5. The same issue affects MongoDB Server v6.0 versions prior to 6.0.21, but an attacker can only induce denial of service after authenticating.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability in MongoDB Server involves improper handling of specific date values in JSON input when using OIDC authentication. An attacker can send a malicious JSON payload via the mongo shell that causes an invariant failure, leading to the server crashing (denial of service). It affects certain versions of MongoDB Server prior to fixed releases.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability can cause a denial of service by crashing the MongoDB Server, making the database unavailable to users and applications. This can disrupt services relying on the database and potentially cause downtime or loss of availability.


What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately upgrade your MongoDB Server to version 7.0.17 or later if you are using the 7.0 series, to version 8.0.5 or later if you are using the 8.0 series, or to version 6.0.21 or later if you are using the 6.0 series. Avoid using vulnerable versions to prevent denial of service attacks via malicious JSON payloads in OIDC authentication.
