CVE-2026-13070: MongoDB

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

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)
