CVE-2026-87110: MongoDB Ops Manager unauthenticated denial of service via monitoring endpoints

CVE-2026-87110 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-09

MongoDB Ops Manager is a web-based platform for managing MongoDB database deployments. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can repeatedly request monitoring endpoints that perform resource-intensive computations, causing the web server to become slow and unresponsive to legitimate traffic. This results in temporary service degradation for administrators and monitored databases.

Technologies: MongoDB Ops Manager. Vendors: MongoDB.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a lack of rate limiting on monitoring endpoints that are accessible without authentication. An attacker can send repeated requests to these endpoints from the network, each triggering expensive computational work. Because there is no rate limiting or request throttling in place, these requests compete for server resources with legitimate traffic, temporarily degrading service availability for other users.
