CVE-2026-82075 Published on September 8, 2026
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in MongoDB Sharded Cluster Router Allows Unauthenticated Denial of Service
An uncontrolled resource consumption weakness exists in the request-handling path of the MongoDB sharded-cluster router process. A client that has network access to a router port and has not authenticated can supply connection-monitoring parameters that cause the server to expend CPU resources without any rate limiting, degrading or denying service to legitimate clients. No authentication, elevated privileges, or user interaction is required. Only availability is affected; data confidentiality and integrity are not impacted.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2026-82075 can be exploited with network access, and does not require authorization privileges or user interaction. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have no impact on confidentiality and integrity and availability.
Weakness Type
Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
The software allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor.
