What is CVE-2026-82060?
CVE-2026-82060 is a low-severity code injection vulnerability in Mongodb Mongodb, published on 8 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
In MongoDB, insufficient validation of shard key values during document insertion allowed authenticated users to store documents with specially crafted, operator-shaped objects as shard key values in sharded collections. When change stream events for such documents were processed with the updateLookup full document mode, the crafted values were embedded into internal post-image lookup queries without proper sanitization, causing them to be interpreted as query operators rather than literal equality values. This could result in change stream consumers receiving incorrect post-image documents or encountering non-resumable fatal errors.
Weakness: CWE-943
