Summary
Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the GridFS component of the MongoDB Rust Driver can cause a caller-supplied structured file identifier to be interpreted as a query condition rather than as a literal identifier. An authenticated user who can influence the identifier passed by an affected application may obtain stored file content beyond the intended target or cause all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket to be removed, rendering stored file content unreadable.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with user privileges could read or destroy data stored in GridFS, rendering it unreadable and compromising confidentiality and integrity. This may lead to data loss and disruption of application operations.
Recommendation
Update the MongoDB Rust Driver to a patched version and validate and normalize file identifiers passed to GridFS operations. Restrict the ability of users to influence identifiers used in queries.
Other vulnerabilities in MongoDB Rust Driver
See all- CVE-2026-81526Medium
The MongoDB Rust Driver does not neutralize special characters in a caller-supplied target identifier before embedding it in the request it sends to the server. An actor able to influence that identifier may cause write operations to be applied to an unintended target within the same deployment.
- CVE-2025-11695High
When tlsInsecure=False appears in a connection string, certificate validation is disabled. This vulnerability affects MongoDB Rust Driver versions prior to v3.2.5.
