Authenticated profiler reconfiguration via misclassified filter changes
Published Feb 10, 2026 · Updated Feb 10, 2026
Missing authorization in MongoDB Server before 7.0.29, 8.0.18, or 8.2.4 lets remote authenticated users alter profiler filters. The profile command's authorization path omits the filter field when deciding whether a request is read-only, so a filter-only mutation bypasses the required configuration privilege. Low-privileged database access is required; the change controls which operations enter the profiler and diagnostic log, affecting data exposure and service load.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=7.0 <7.0.29
- Affected versionversion=8.0 <8.0.18
- Affected versionversion=8.2 <8.2.4
