Recent MongoDB Security Vulnerabilities

CVE	Date	Vulnerability	Products
CVE-2026-4359	Mar 17, 2026	MongoDB C Driver Crash via Malformed HTTP Response (CVE-2026-4359) A compromised third party cloud server or man-in-the-middle attacker could send a malformed HTTP response and cause a crash in applications using the MongoDB C driver.	C Driver
CVE-2026-4358	Mar 17, 2026	MongoDB SBE: $lookup Auth Query Can Trigger Double-Free/UAF A specially crafted aggregation query with $lookup by an authenticated user with write privileges can cause a double-free or use-after-free memory issue in the slot-based execution (SBE) engine when an in-memory hash table is spilled to disk.	MongoDB
CVE-2026-4148	Mar 17, 2026	UAF in MongoDB $lookup Aggregation Pipeline A use-after-free vulnerability can be triggered in sharded clusters by an authenticated user with the read role who issues a specially crafted $lookup or $graphLookup aggregation pipeline.	MongoDB
CVE-2026-4147	Mar 17, 2026	MongoDB: FileMD5 Command Allows Authenticated Read of Uninitialized Stack Memory An authenticated user with the read role may read limited amounts of uninitialized stack memory via specially-crafted issuances of the filemd5 command.	MongoDB
CVE-2026-2303	Feb 10, 2026	Heap OOB Read in mongo-go-driver GSSAPI CGo Bindings The mongo-go-driver repository contains CGo bindings for GSSAPI (Kerberos) authentication on Linux and macOS.
