CVE-2026-13072
Last modified
CVE-2026-13072 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.2/10 on the CVSS scale. When compute mode is enabled on a standalone mongod instance, insufficient validation of externally sourced BSON data during aggregation pipeline processing can result in memory corruption, potentially leading to process termination or other unintended behavior. This configuration is non-default and requires explicit enablement at startup.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
