Published: 10/22/2026 (10/22/2026, 19:13:59 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: MongoDB
Product: C# Driver

Description

A numeric-type conversion flaw in the BSON handling library of the MongoDB C# Driver allows an out-of-range binary subtype value supplied through untrusted textual input to bypass the library's binary-element integrity checks. When such a value is later encoded, it is narrowed to a smaller wire representation, producing binary elements that misdeclare their type or length. An unauthenticated party able to supply text parsed by an affected application can cause it to emit and persist malformed binary data, which subsequent readers either reject with an error or silently interpret as shorter than the data that was validated.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability arises from a numeric-type conversion flaw in the BSON handling library of the MongoDB C# Driver. An attacker supplying an out-of-range binary subtype value via untrusted textual input can bypass binary-element integrity checks. When the data is encoded, it is narrowed to a smaller wire representation, resulting in binary elements that misdeclare their type or length. This malformed data can cause errors or silent misinterpretation by subsequent readers. The flaw affects versions >=2.0.0 and <3.13.0 of the MongoDB C# Driver.

Potential Impact

An unauthenticated attacker able to supply text parsed by an affected application can cause it to emit and persist malformed binary data. This may lead to errors or silent misinterpretation by subsequent readers of the data. The vulnerability does not require privileges or user interaction and has a medium severity score (CVSS 6.9). There are no known exploits in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, applications should carefully validate and sanitize untrusted textual input that is parsed into BSON binary elements to prevent malformed data emission.
