CVE-2026-9741 Details
Description
A bug in query analysis processing of the $vectorSearch aggregation stage for Queryable Encryption (QE) or Client-Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE) results in literal values for encrypted fields within the $vectorSearch stage filter expressions to be sent to the server as plaintext instead of ciphertext.
A vulnerability exists in the $vectorSearch aggregation stage when used with Queryable Encryption (QE) or Client-Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE). The issue arises because literal values for encrypted fields in the $vectorSearch filter expressions are transmitted to the server as plaintext, rather than ciphertext. This leakage of sensitive data occurs despite $vectorSearch not being officially supported with CSFLE, allowing users to inadvertently expose encrypted information.
Users can upgrade to MongoDB versions 8.3.3, 8.2.10, 8.0.24, or 7.0.35 to address this vulnerability.
