AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, applications should avoid using user-supplied input directly in pattern-matching queries on embedded associations or implement input validation and limits on regular expression complexity to mitigate potential denial of service.

Description

CVE-2026-93761 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Mongoid library by MongoDB Inc. It involves inefficient regular expression complexity in the in-memory query evaluation component. An unauthenticated attacker can supply crafted text in a pattern-matching query on embedded associations, causing excessive processing and potentially making the application unresponsive. This affects multiple Mongoid versions from 7.2.0 through 9.1.0 as specified. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patch information is provided in the source data.
