CVE-2026-4147Network attack vector

Stack memory disclosure via crafted filemd5 commands

Published Mar 17, 2026 · Updated Mar 17, 2026

Stack-memory disclosure in MongoDB Server 7.0, 8.0, and 8.2 allows remote authenticated users to read process memory via filemd5. Specially crafted command invocations cause filemd5 to use uninitialized stack storage and return limited bytes from that storage. A database read role is sufficient; the documented consequence is bounded to limited memory disclosure, with no integrity or availability impact.
