Summary
CVE-2026-75159 is a high-severity Double Free (CWE-415) vulnerability in Mongodb Bi Connector. Its CVSS base score is 8.2 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 41th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
An unauthenticated client that can reach a MongoDB Connector for BI deployment configured with Kerberos authentication may cause mongosqld to terminate when a crafted authentication exchange encounters a specific GSSAPI error-handling condition. This can interrupt BI Connector availability until the…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)
Our mappings, made for this CVE.
Developer testing and evaluation explicitly includes dynamic analysis and fuzzing that locate double-free defects before release.
Security engineering principles can require memory-safe allocation patterns or language features that structurally eliminate double-free opportunities.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0)
Our mappings, derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our CWE→CSF cross-walk — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly prevent double-free errors via static analysis, safe memory APIs, and testing.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A)
Our mappings, derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our CWE→ISO cross-walk — links open the control.
Security testing in development can detect double-free conditions before release.
Secure coding standards directly address proper use of free() and similar functions.
A.8.8's reach is DISCLOSURE — it finds double-free instances only where they appear as published advisories in third-party components (multiple CVEs exist for CWE-415), but the majority of double-free bugs in custom first-party code are never published and so are outside this control's view, matching the same disclosure-bound reasoning that graded A.8.8 finds CWE-89 = partial.
Hardening callouts derived
Configuration rules from DISA STIG baselines that bear on weaknesses of the type cited by this CVE. Each rule is shown with the relationship its mapping actually records, against the CWE it was authored against. Derived via CVE→CWE over our cross-walk; rows rated `none` are excluded, and each rule says how its mapping was checked.
Definition changed on 29 October 2026. Until then this section listed every rule rated above none, partial included. From that date it lists rules whose mapping is rated full or mostly and checked at llm_unverified or higher; partial mappings show when you ask.
No rule maps to these weaknesses at full or mostly. Tick the option above to see the partial mappings.
