Summary

An internal aggregation expression in MongoDB Server was incorrectly registered as accessible to any authenticated user rather than being restricted to internal cluster operations. By crafting a malformed index specification within this expression, an authenticated user with read-only privileges could trigger an assertion failure in the index key generation code path. In certain build configurations, this assertion failure results in termination of the mongod process, causing a denial of service to all connected clients.

Risk Assessment

Risk of denial of service (DoS) to all MongoDB clients by triggering mongod process crash via a read-only user.

Recommendation

Install MongoDB updates that address this vulnerability and restrict access to aggregation expressions to trusted users.
