Data Query Logic Vulnerability in MongoDB Go Driver

CVE-2026-88031

What is CVE-2026-88031?

The MongoDB Go Driver contains a vulnerability in its GridFS component that improperly neutralizes special elements in data query logic. This flaw allows a crafted file identifier, supplied by an authenticated user, to be processed as a query condition instead of being treated as a literal identifier. As a result, an attacker can manipulate the identifier to cause the deletion of all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket, leading to the inaccessibility of stored file content. This presents serious implications for data integrity and availability, making it crucial for developers to address this issue in their implementations.
