How severe is CVE-2026-11933?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-11933 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-11933?

Affected package information for CVE-2026-11933 is not yet fully mapped. Check the official advisory links for details.

How do I fix CVE-2026-11933?

Upgrade the affected component to the fixed release for CVE-2026-11933, or apply your distribution's backported patch — distro builds are often patched at an older version number, so check your vendor's advisory rather than the upstream version alone.

How do I detect CVE-2026-11933 in my code and dependencies?

Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-11933 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.

Is CVE-2026-11933 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-11933 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-11933?

CVE-2026-11933 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 30th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-11933?

CVE-2026-11933 is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), Use After Free (CWE-416). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-11933 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-11933 was published on June 12, 2026 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in MongoDB Server's server-side JavaScript engine when converting BSON documents to JavaScript arrays. An authenticated user with read privileges who is able to run server-side JavaScript (for example, via $where or $function) can cause the server to access memory that has already been freed. This may result in disclosure of information from the mongod process memory or a denial of service through a server crash.
