CVE-2026-115930 PUBLISHED

MongoDB Shell (mongosh) bundled with Node.js trusts certificates issued by recoverable eMudhra intermediate CAs

Assigner: mongodb
Reserved: 23.10.2026 Published: 26.10.2026 Updated: 26.10.2026

The MongoDB Shell (mongosh) relies on Node.js as a third-party runtime that carries its own TLS root certificate store. This certificate store has the recoverable eMudhra intermediate CA certificates. This issue impacts MongoDB Shell (mongosh) versions prior to 2.14.0 and can be resolved by updating to mongosh 2.14.0 which bundles Node.js 24.22.1 or later. If mongosh is installed through npm, it uses the Node.js runtime installed on the host; update that runtime separately.
