CVE-2026-9752

GeometryCollection with strict-winding polygon causes server crash during 2dsphere index key generation

State: Published
Severity: 7.1 High
Published: Jun 9, 2026
Updated: Jun 10, 2026

Description

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.
