{"id":"CVE-2026-115930","kind":"vulnerability","aliases":["CVE-2026-115930"],"related":[],"title":"MongoDB Shell: bundled Node.js trusts recoverable eMudhra intermediate CA certificates","description":"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.","summary":"The mongosh shell ships a Node.js runtime whose TLS root certificate store contains eMudhra intermediate CA certificates that can be recovered.
