CVE-2026-9748 Details
Description
The $_internalConvertBucketIndexStats stage used PauseExecution as a way to signal "skip this document" when an index stats conversion failed. But PauseExecution is not a general purpose skip mechanism, but rather a TeeBuffer-internal signal used solely by $facet to coordinate its sub-pipelines. When this stage is placed before $facet in a pipeline, TeeBuffer receives the unexpected PauseExecution from upstream and hits a hard invariant assertion, crashing mongod.
A vulnerability exists in MongoDB's query processing, specifically within the $_internalConvertBucketIndexStats stage. This stage improperly utilized PauseExecution to skip documents that failed index conversion, which is not its intended purpose. PauseExecution is meant for internal coordination within $facet sub-pipelines. When $_internalConvertBucketIndexStats is placed before $facet, the unexpected PauseExecution signal causes the TeeBuffer to encounter a critical assertion error, resulting in a server crash.
Users can upgrade to MongoDB versions 9.0.0-rc0, 8.3.3, 8.2.10, 8.0.24, or 7.0.35 to address this vulnerability.
