CVE-2026-89099: MongoDB Server race condition in document value layer

CVE-2026-89099 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-09-11

A race condition in MongoDB Server's document processing layer allows multiple server threads to access the same memory location without proper synchronization, corrupting internal data structures. An authenticated database user with normal read-write access can trigger this flaw, causing the server to crash and potentially corrupting memory with attacker-controlled content. This impacts the availability and integrity of MongoDB deployments.

Technical details

A race condition in the document value layer permits concurrent server threads to operate on shared internal memory without synchronization, leading to memory corruption. An authenticated user with standard read-write database privileges can trigger this condition over the normal MongoDB client protocol. Exploitation results in server process termination and possible corruption of process memory with user-influenced data.
