CVE-2026-114644: Memory-exhaustion denial of service via unbounded symbol interning during BSON/JSON deserialization
Advisory generated from the CVE record, CISA, Exploit Observer and VEDAS: what it is, whether it is exploited, who is affected, and how to fix and detect it.
Generated by VEDAS. Scores as of 2026-11-11 15:49 UTC. Rebuilt every few hours from cve-scores, CISA KEV and vedas-signatures. How this works and its limits.
What it is
The MongoDB C# Driver’s BSON library contains an uncontrolled resource consumption weakness in its deserialization handling of one BSON value type. An application that deserializes untrusted content with the library retains data derived from that content for the lifetime of the process, with no limit on how much accumulates. An unauthenticated remote party who can cause such content to be deserialized can drive unbounded memory growth, exhausting the host application’s available memory and denying service. There is no impact to confidentiality or integrity, and no MongoDB server component is affected.
Description quoted from the CVE record (assigned by mongodb, published 2026-10-22).
Weakness: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
How it can be exploited
Exploitable over the network with high attack complexity with no special attack requirements needing no privileges and no user interaction. Impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high. CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
CISA assessment (SSVC): CISA assesses that a public proof of concept exists. Automatable: no. Technical impact: partial.
