## What is CVE-2026-82076?

CVE-2026-82076 is a high-severity 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

An integer overflow in the query planning component of MongoDB Server can allow an authenticated user with ordinary database-level read/write privileges to bypass an internal resource limit. Submitting a specially crafted query causes the server to consume memory without bound during query planning, and the resulting exhaustion terminates the server process. This may result in a denial of service affecting all databases served by the affected node.

Weakness: CWE-190 (Integer Overflow or Wraparound)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-82076 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-82076 is a high-severity 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.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-82076 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- mongodb (Bitnami): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.41, 8.0.30, 8.2.13, 8.3.9, 9.0.2

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
