CVE-2026-115929

MongoDB Compass trusts certificates issued by recoverable eMudhra intermediate CAs

High 7.6

MongoDB Compass relies on Electron, a third-party runtime that carries its own TLS root certificate store. This root certificate store has the recoverable eMudhra intermediate CA certificates. Issue is resolved by updating to Compass 1.53.1, which includes Electron 44.9.1.
