Summary
The MongoDB Node.js Driver does not consistently enforce its allowed-hosts restriction during OIDC authentication, so a bearer token from the application's own login callback can be sent to a host outside the configured set, exposing that credential. An attacker who can influence the connection settings the application passes to the driver can trigger this remotely without logging in, though a user action is still needed.

Read the original description
The MongoDB Node.js driver does not consistently enforce its permitted-host restriction during OIDC authentication. A bearer token produced by the embedding application's own login callback may therefore be transmitted to a host outside the configured set of permitted hosts, which may result in unintended disclosure of that credential. No database account is required; the party supplying the connection configuration needs only to influence the settings the application passes to the driver.

Check your systems with an agent
Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-126835 ([Node.js Driver] OIDC ENVIRONMENT confusion bypasses ALLOWED_HOSTS and leaks human-callback bearer tokens), using the cve.now data below.
Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.
What cve.now has for CVE-2026-126835 (entry last updated 2026-11-12):
Affected:
- MongoDB Node.js Driver: from 6.7.0
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126835 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126835 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.
How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.
Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/releases/tag/v7.9.0
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.
Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
