CVE-2026-18693

An issue in MongoDB Server's handling of timeseries collections could allow an authenticated user with write privileges to cause an internal data structure to become inconsistent through certain document insertions. A subsequent insert into the affected bucket could then result in the server accessing memory outside its intended bounds, potentially causing a server crash (denial of service), exposure of limited memory contents, or memory corruption.

What the metrics mean

  • It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
  • For an attacker who can reach it, no special conditions are needed to exploit it.
  • To exploit it, an ordinary user account is needed.
  • Beyond that, no action by a user is required.
