CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedMongoDB Server contains a vulnerability where an internal aggregation expression is improperly accessible to authenticated users, allowing those with read-only privileges to exploit it by crafting a malformed index specification. This can lead to an assertion failure in the index key generation, potentially causing the mongod process to terminate and resulting in a denial of service for all connected clients. Organizations using MongoDB should prioritize addressing this issue to prevent service disruptions.
Original NVD Description
An internal aggregation expression in MongoDB Server was incorrectly registered as accessible to any authenticated user rather than being restricted to internal cluster operations. By crafting a malformed index specification within this expression, an authenticated user with read-only privileges could trigger an assertion failure in the index key generation code path. In certain build configurations, this assertion failure results in termination of the mongod process, causing a denial of service to all connected clients.
