Summary

A vulnerability in MongoDB's JSON Schema validation error generation code allows an authenticated user with readWrite privileges to crash the mongod server. When a BSON document containing an array with a malformed numeric field name fails a $jsonSchema items type constraint, the error generation path performs unsafe numeric conversion on the user-controlled field name without proper exception handling, resulting in an uncaught exception that terminates the server process. This is possible because incoming wire protocol BSON validation does not enforce that array element field names are valid, in-range numeric indices.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user can intentionally crash the database server, causing service disruption for all clients (denial of service).

Recommendation

Apply the vendor-provided patch that adds proper exception handling and field name validation in the JSON Schema validation error generation path.
