Post-auth null pointer dereference when aggregating against a view with empty search pipeline_CVE-2026-8063

{
    "lastseen": "",
    "description": "An authenticated user can crash mongod when running $rankFusion or $scoreFusion with an empty pipeline on a view.\n\nWhen resolving a view, the server inspects the aggregation pipeline to determine whether it begins with an Atlas Search stage. For $rankFusion and $scoreFusion, this inspection reads the first element on each stage\u2019s input pipeline array without first verifying that the array is non-empty. Supplying an empty pipeline causes a null pointer dereference and crashes the server.\n\nThis issue affects MongoDB Server 8.2 versions\u00a0prior to 8.2.7.",
