CVE-2025-10491
The MongoDB Windows installation MSI may leave ACLs unset on custom installation directories allowing a local attacker to introduce executable code to MongoDB's process via DLL hijacking. This issue affects MongoDB Server v6.0 version prior to 6.0.25, MongoDB Server v7.0 version prior to 7.0.21 and MongoDB Server v8.0 version prior to 8.0.5
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.12%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 2
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
