CVE-2026-82064: Unauthenticated Denial of Service in MongoDB Server via Assertion Failure in Read Concern Processing on Replica Set Members

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.51% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: MongoDB MongoDB Server 7.0.41, 8.0.30, 8.3.9.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to MongoDB MongoDB Server 7.0.41, 8.0.30, 8.3.9 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A security issue in MongoDB Server allows an unauthenticated network user to cause a denial of service on a specific type of replica set member. The server contains an assertion in its read concern processing logic that can be reached without authentication, and the assertion's assumptions about internal state do not hold for all member configurations, causing the server process to terminate.
