CVE-2026-13072: MongoDB

High severity, CVSS 8.1. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.
