CVE-2026-13069: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in MongoDB MongoDB Server
An authenticated user can cause excessive CPU consumption or out-of-memory conditions on a MongoDB server by sending a crafted Queryable Encryption find payload containing an unvalidated field used to control an internal computation loop. The resulting resource exhaustion degrades availability for other operations.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-770) in MongoDB Server allows an authenticated user to cause resource exhaustion by exploiting an unvalidated field in a Queryable Encryption find payload. The crafted input manipulates an internal computation loop, resulting in excessive CPU consumption or out-of-memory conditions. This impacts server availability by degrading performance for other operations. The vulnerability affects specific versions: 7.0, 8.0, 8.2.0, and 8.3.0. There is no vendor advisory or patch available at this time, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker can cause denial of service conditions on the MongoDB server by exhausting CPU and memory resources. This leads to degraded availability and potential disruption of normal database operations for legitimate users.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, limit authenticated user privileges to trusted users only and monitor for unusual resource consumption patterns related to Queryable Encryption find operations.
