CVE-2026-25613Network attack vector

Authenticated server crash via unsafe planner cast

Published Feb 10, 2026 · Updated Feb 10, 2026

Incorrect type conversion in affected MongoDB Server 7.0, 8.0, and 8.2 releases allows remote authenticated users to crash mongod. Wildcard index validation accepts a compound index whose wildcardProjection only excludes _id; querying it reaches an unsafe planner cast and segmentation fault. Database authorization and the preexisting invalid index are required, and the resulting process crash interrupts service without reported data disclosure or modification.
