Last modified
CVE-2026-82071 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. Insufficient validation of storage engine configuration options in MongoDB Server allows an authenticated user with write privileges to supply crafted parameters during collection creation that override internal storage metadata. This results in an out-of-bounds memory write in the server process, causing a denial of service via server crash, with potential for further impact including arbitrary code execution.. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
