An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-18706 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- mongodb (Bitnami): affected from 8.3.0; fixed in 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-2026-18706/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18706/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-18706","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18706/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-18706","record":{"aliases":["BIT-mongodb-2026-18706","GHSA-pv5p-66r3-9fq9","MINI-mjcw-cj6g-3f47","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-18706"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MongoDB Server","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free in the $graphLookup stage, causing server crashes or potential remote code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mongodb","cpe":[{"product":"mongodb","vendor":"mongodb"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"An issue in MongoDB Server's $graphLookup aggregation stage could allow an authenticated user able to issue aggregation and memory-management commands to cause an internal reference to be used after the underlying memory has been freed.
