CVE-2026-88024: GridFS data disclosure and deletion via query-operator injection in file IDs in the MongoDB Rust Driver
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.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is exposed to this issue?
Applications using the MongoDB Rust Driver's GridFS component are exposed when an authenticated user can influence a file identifier passed by the application. The issue depends on the application accepting a structured identifier that is interpreted as a query condition.
What access does an attacker need?
An attacker needs authentication and the ability to control the file identifier used by the affected application. No user interaction is required.
What can exploitation do?
An attacker may retrieve GridFS file content beyond the intended file target. They may also cause all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket to be removed, making stored file content unreadable.
