CVE-2025-6707: 
MongoDB vulnerability analysis and mitigation

A privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-6707) has been identified in MongoDB Server affecting multiple versions. The vulnerability was disclosed on June 26, 2025, and affects MongoDB Server versions 5.0 prior to 5.0.31, 6.0 prior to 6.0.24, 7.0 prior to 7.0.21, and 8.0 prior to 8.0.5 (MongoDB JIRA, NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as a race condition in privilege cache invalidation cycle, identified as CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization). The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.2 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N. This scoring indicates that the vulnerability requires network access, has high attack complexity, requires low privileges, needs no user interaction, and has a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability (NVD, Wiz).

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated users to execute requests with outdated privilege levels that were supposed to have been revoked or modified by an administrator. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access to resources or operations that should have been restricted after a privilege change (MongoDB JIRA, Wiz).

MongoDB has released patches to address this vulnerability in multiple versions. Users are advised to upgrade to MongoDB Server version 5.0.31, 6.0.24, 7.0.21, or 8.0.5 depending on their current version track (MongoDB JIRA).
