CVE-2026-13068: MongoDB

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• MongoDB MongoDB: from 7.0.0, before 7.0.39 (fixed in 7.0.39); from 8.0.0, before 8.0.28 (fixed in 8.0.28); from 8.2.0, before 8.2.12 (fixed in 8.2.12); from 8.3.0, before 8.3.7 (fixed in 8.3.7)
