CVE-2026-19003: CWE-121: Stack-based buffer overflow in MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver

High
Published: 08/12/2026 (08/12/2026, 21:04:19 UTC)
Source: GCVE Database
Vendor/Project: MongoDB
Product: BI Connector ODBC Driver

Description

A data source definition containing an over-length file path setting may cause the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver setup dialog to write outside the bounds of an allocated buffer. The issue stems from an incorrect buffer capacity calculation in the dialog's file and folder selection handling, and is reached only when a user opens the setup dialog for such a data source and initiates a file or folder selection. Depending on build configuration, the result may range from abnormal process termination to, under certain conditions, execution of unintended code in the context of the user running the dialog.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-19003 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability in the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver setup dialog. The flaw arises from improper calculation of buffer capacity when processing over-length file path settings in data source definitions. This vulnerability is exploitable when a user opens the setup dialog and performs file or folder selection, leading to writes outside the allocated buffer. Depending on the build configuration, this can cause process crashes or, under certain conditions, arbitrary code execution in the context of the user running the dialog. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) and has a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.8, indicating high severity.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation can lead to high impact outcomes including confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromises. Specifically, it may cause abnormal termination of the setup dialog process or execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the dialog, potentially allowing unauthorized actions within that user context.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should avoid opening the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver setup dialog for data sources containing over-length file path settings to prevent triggering the vulnerability.
