CyberRota Analysis
This is a medium severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 6.5. It affects MongoDB. Exploitation may require the attacker to be authenticated. It may lead to a denial-of-service condition.
Original NVD Description
In MongoDB Server 8.0, an aggregation stage can leave its _subPipeline field null during processing of certain pipelines. If a getMore is subsequently issued on the same cursor, the server may dereference this null sub-pipeline when reattaching to the operation context, accessing an invalid address and crashing the process. This issue allows an authenticated user who can run aggregation pipelines to cause a denial of service by issuing a specially crafted aggregation followed by getMore on affected versions.
