CVE-2026-88035

MEDIUM CVSS: 4.7 Published: 2026-09-10 Modified: 2026-09-16

Description

A size check in the client-side authentication path of the MongoDB C Driver can wrap around, so an unusually large user-name value is accepted and copied past the end of a small buffer. A party able to set the driver's connection settings may cause the application that embeds the driver to terminate unexpectedly. Reaching this code requires a build in which the optional external SASL authentication backend is present and a connection configured to use it.

Affected Platforms

Mongodb C Driver

Weakness Type

CWE-190
