Out-of-Bounds Read in MongoDB (CVE-2026-13077)
Summary
Vulnerability in MongoDB (CVE-2026-13077). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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 a 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.
