MongoDB Server: Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release

CVE-2025-10060 is a high-severity operation on a resource after expiration or release vulnerability in MongoDB Server from MongoDB, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 6.0.25, 7.0.22, 8.0.12 as the first without the flaw, so updating MongoDB Server to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.4% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update MongoDB Server to 6.0.25 or 7.0.22 or 8.0.12, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
  2. Update Mongodb to 6.0.25 or 7.0.22 or 8.0.12, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
  3. Read the advisory on jira.mongodb.org for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  4. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
