Summary

The MongoDB C++ Driver discards content after an embedded NUL byte in certain field and collection names accepted by the collection API. This can cause the driver and the calling application to interpret the same name differently. An authenticated actor who can influence a name passed by an affected application can cause the application to read distinct values from an unintended field or rename an unintended collection.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can affect data integrity, causing the application to read data from the wrong field or rename the wrong collection, using existing database credentials.

Recommendation

Upgrade the MongoDB C++ Driver to a patched version if available and ensure the application does not pass names with embedded NUL bytes.
