CVE-2026-9752: MongoDB

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An authorized user could trigger a server crash by running a query with a 2dsphere index on a field that stores a GeoJSON GeometryCollection containing a Polygon with a strict-winding CRS. Strict-winding polygons are intentionally unsupported for indexing, but the guard that rejects them does not inspect members of a GeometryCollection, allowing the unsafe path to be reached which ends with an ensuing null-pointer dereference.

Affected products

• MongoDB MongoDB: from 7.0.0, before 7.0.35 (fixed in 7.0.35); from 8.0.0, before 8.0.24 (fixed in 8.0.24); from 8.2.0, before 8.2.10 (fixed in 8.2.10); from 8.3.0, before 8.3.3 (fixed in 8.3.3)
