CVE-2026-82068: MongoDB

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A security issue in MongoDB Server allows an authenticated user with write privileges to trigger a persistent fatal assertion crash by sending specially crafted retryable write commands. The crash state is durably persisted, causing the server process to repeatedly crash on restart and potentially propagating to additional nodes in a sharded cluster. Manual intervention is required to restore service availability.

Affected products

• MongoDB MongoDB: from 7.0.0, before 7.0.41 (fixed in 7.0.41); from 8.0.0, before 8.0.30 (fixed in 8.0.30); from 8.3.0, before 8.3.9 (fixed in 8.3.9)
