CVE-2013-1892

Status: ModifiedMedium (6)—💥 Exploit

MongoDB before 2.0.9 and 2.2.x before 2.2.4 does not properly validate requests to the nativeHelper function in SpiderMonkey, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and server crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted memory address in the first argument.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 6

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 45%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
Score date: 10/7/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
