Title
Aggregation Framework Memory Exhaustion Leading to Process Termination
Summary
An authenticated user can cause a {{mongod}} process to be terminated by the operating system under memory pressure by performing a specific data type conversion operation within MongoDB's aggregation framework. The behavior stems from disproportionate memory consumption during this operation, and requires both write access to the database and the ability to run aggregation queries.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
