CVE-2025-14345
Publication date 9 December 2025
Last updated 19 February 2026
Ubuntu priority
Description
A post-authentication flaw in the network two-phase commit protocol used for cross-shard transactions in MongoDB Server may lead to logical data inconsistencies under specific conditions which are not predictable and exist for a very short period of time. This error can cause the transaction coordination logic to misinterpret the transaction as committed, resulting in inconsistent state on those shards. This may lead to low integrity and availability impact. This issue impacts MongoDB Server v8.0 versions prior to 8.0.16, MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.26 and MongoDB server v8.2 versions prior to 8.2.2.

Notes
john-breton
As of 2026-02-19, upstream has not posted a patch for this issue. Even if they did, due to the SSPL license for MongoDB we would be unable to use the patch to address this vulnerability in Ubuntu. The hope is a license-compliant third-party will make patches available in the future.
