What is CVE-2026-88024?
CVE-2026-88024 is a medium-severity SQL injection vulnerability in MongoDB Rust Driver, published on 10 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
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.
Weakness: CWE-943
