CVE-2026-8063 Details
Description
An authenticated user can crash mongod when running $rankFusion or $scoreFusion with an empty pipeline on a view. When resolving a view, the server inspects the aggregation pipeline to determine whether it begins with an Atlas Search stage. For $rankFusion and $scoreFusion, this inspection reads the first element on each stage’s input pipeline array without first verifying that the array is non-empty. Supplying an empty pipeline causes a null pointer dereference and crashes the server. This issue affects MongoDB Server 8.2 versions prior to 8.2.7.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in MongoDB Server 8.2 versions prior to 8.2.7. The issue arises when an authenticated user executes the $rankFusion or $scoreFusion commands with an empty aggregation pipeline on a view. The server fails to verify that the pipeline array is not empty before accessing its first element, leading to a null pointer dereference that crashes the server.
Users can upgrade to MongoDB Server 8.2.7 or later to address this vulnerability.
