High CVSS 8.1
CVE-2026-18712
NVD analysis in progress
An issue in MongoDB Server's Queryable Encryption maintenance operations could allow an authenticated user with privileges on one encrypted collection to cause unauthorized modification or destruction of data belonging to a different collection. This is due to insufficient validation of certain internal metadata references before they are used to perform operations on other namespaces.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- An authorisation check exists but its logic is wrong.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
