MongoDB vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A high-severity vulnerability (CVE-2025-3083) has been identified in MongoDB that allows attackers to crash the mongos router process through specifically crafted MongoDB wire protocol messages. The vulnerability affects multiple MongoDB versions and can be exploited without requiring authentication. The affected versions include MongoDB 5.0.x before 5.0.31, MongoDB 6.0.x before 6.0.20, and MongoDB 7.0.x before 7.0.16 (MongoDB JIRA, Security Online).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (High) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H. The issue is classified under CWE-248 (Uncaught Exception) and involves malformed MongoDB wire protocol messages that can trigger crashes during command validation. The vulnerability is particularly concerning as it can be exploited without authentication, making it accessible to remote attackers (MongoDB JIRA).
Impact
When successfully exploited, this vulnerability can cause the MongoDB router process (mongos) to crash, potentially leading to service disruption and denial of service conditions. The high CVSS score reflects the significant impact on system availability, though there are no direct consequences for data confidentiality or integrity (Security Online).
Mitigation and workarounds
MongoDB has released patches to address this vulnerability. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to the following fixed versions: MongoDB 5.0.31 or later for the 5.0.x series, MongoDB 6.0.20 or later for the 6.0.x series, and MongoDB 7.0.16 or later for the 7.0.x series (Security Online).
