Technical details
This is an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability (denial of service) in the mongos router's request-handling path. The vulnerable component does not apply rate limiting or enforce a minimum timeout on pre-authentication streaming "hello" commands, allowing an unauthenticated client to manipulate connection-monitoring parameters to force CPU-intensive operations. No authentication is required; an attacker only needs network access to a mongos port. The attack impacts availability only; data confidentiality and integrity are not affected. Patches are available in MongoDB versions 7.0.41, 8.0.30, 8.2.13, 8.3.9, 9.0.0-rc2, 9.1.0-rc0, and later.
