This flaw allows an attacker to maliciously crash MongoDB in a denial of service attack if they can cause an extremely long aggregation pipeline in conjunction with a specific stage/operator, which leads to a stack overflow due to the size of the stack frames used by that stage.

Description Avinash Hanwate 2022-04-13 06:01:52 UTC 
It may be possible to have an extremely long aggregation pipeline in conjunction with a specific stage/operator and cause a stack overflow due to the size of the stack frames used by that stage. If an attacker could cause such an aggregation to occur, they could maliciously crash MongoDB in a DoS attack. This vulnerability affects MongoDB versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.4.11, 4.2.16.
