CVE-2026-9748Network attack vector

Authenticated server crash via PauseExecution misuse

Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026

Reachable assertion in MongoDB Server allows remote authenticated users to crash mongod by submitting a crafted aggregation pipeline. The $_internalConvertBucketIndexStats stage returns PauseExecution after an index-stat conversion failure, but $facet's TeeBuffer treats that internal coordination signal as unexpected and triggers a hard invariant. Low privileges are required; affected versions are 7.0.0 through 7.0.34, 8.0.0 through 8.0.9, 8.2.0 through 8.2.9, and 8.3.0 through 8.3.2, and exploitation interrupts the database service without reported data disclosure or modification.
