Data disclosure and deletion via GridFS ID injection
Published Sep 10, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Data query injection in MongoDB Rust Driver 2.4.0 through 3.9.0 allows attackers to read or delete unintended GridFS content. GridFS operations interpret a caller-supplied structured BSON file identifier as a query condition instead of matching it as a literal identifier. Exploitation requires authenticated MongoDB access and an application path that accepts such identifiers; reads can expose other stored files, while deletion can render every file in the affected bucket unreadable.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
