Summary

A missing bounds check in the BSON CodeWScope element accessors allows an attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds heap read via a crafted aggregation pipeline. The vulnerability can be exploited by an authenticated user by generating malformed BSONColumn data containing a CodeWScope element, bypassing wire-level BSON validation. When the forged element is decompressed, the unchecked size value is used in pointer arithmetic, causing either a server crash or disclosure of adjacent heap memory contents.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential MongoDB server crashes or leakage of sensitive heap memory data, which could compromise system confidentiality and availability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately upgrade MongoDB to a patched version for CVE-2026-13077 and restrict aggregation pipeline access to trusted users only.
