GeometryCollection with strict-winding polygon causes server crash during 2dsphere index key generation
CVE-2026-9752 is fixed in MongoDB on 1 platform by MongoDB 8.3.3 (version 8.3.3), released May 28, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
An authorized user could trigger a server crash by running a query with a 2dsphere index on a field that stores a GeoJSON GeometryCollection containing a Polygon with a strict-winding CRS. Strict-winding polygons are intentionally unsupported for indexing, but the guard that rejects them does not inspect members of a GeometryCollection, allowing the unsafe path to be reached which ends with an ensuing null-pointer dereference.
