MongoDB 7.0.x < 7.0.41 / 8.0.x < 8.0.30 / 8.3.x < 8.3.9 Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Plugin ID 347951
Synopsis
The remote host is missing a security update.Description
The version of MongoDB installed on the remote host is 7.0.x prior to 7.0.41, 8.0.x prior to 8.0.30, or 8.3.x prior to 8.3.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- The $regexFindAll expression can be used by an authenticated user who can run aggregation pipeline stages to crash a MongoDB server (mongod). (CVE-2026-82052)
- A security issue exists in MongoDB's LDAP authorization integration where pooled LDAP connections can retain stale authentication identities after user authentication under certain configurations, potentially permitting authenticated users to gain unintended elevated privileges through incorrect role assignments.
(CVE-2026-82053)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to MongoDB version 7.0.41 / 8.0.30 / 8.3.9 or later.See Also
