MongoDB 6.0.x < 6.0.25 / 7.0.x < 7.0.22 / 8.0.x < 8.0.12 / 8.1.x < 8.1.2 (SERVER-99616)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 265329

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of MongoDB installed on the remote host is 6.0 prior to 6.0.25, 7.0 prior to 7.0.22, 8.0 prior to 8.0.12 and 8.1 prior to 8.1.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SERVER-99616 advisory.

- An authorized user can cause a crash in the MongoDB Server through a specially crafted $group query. This vulnerability is related to the incorrect handling of certain accumulator functions when additional parameters are specified within the $group operation. This vulnerability could lead to denial of service if triggered repeatedly. This issue affects MongoDB Server v6.0 versions prior to 6.0.25, MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.22, MongoDB Server v8.0 versions prior to 8.0.12 and MongoDB Server v8.1 versions prior to 8.1.2. (CVE-2025-10061)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MongoDB version 6.0.25, 7.0.22, 8.0.12, 8.1.2 or later.
