Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-18690 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- mongodb (Bitnami): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.40, 8.0.29, 8.3.8, 9.0.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18690/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18690/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-18690","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18690/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-18690","record":{"aliases":["BIT-mongodb-2026-18690","GHSA-494v-9jwj-989h","MINI-2fc7-792h-f83r","MINI-4hcv-5wcp-jvj7","MINI-773j-c6cp-gf3p","MINI-jmf8-f6xq-3vgm","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-18690"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MongoDB Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with limited roles can bypass authorization to drop and recreate protected system collections in MongoDB Server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mongodb","cpe":[{"product":"mongodb","vendor":"mongodb"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"An issue in MongoDB Server could allow an authenticated user with a limited database-scoped role to perform an action against protected system collections that their assigned privileges should not permit.
