Improper Data Query Handling in MongoDB Rust Driver GridFS

Publication date: 2026-09-10

Last updated on: 2026-09-10

Assigner: MongoDB, Inc.

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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves improper handling of special elements in data queries within MongoDB's GridFS component in the Rust Driver. An authenticated user can manipulate a file identifier so it is treated as a query condition instead of a literal identifier. This may allow access to unintended file content or deletion of all GridFS file chunks in a bucket, making stored files unreadable.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with authenticated access could read files they should not have permission to access or delete files stored in GridFS, causing data loss. This could lead to unauthorized data exposure or disruption of services relying on stored files.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or deletion of sensitive data, violating confidentiality and integrity requirements in GDPR and HIPAA. Non-compliance may result in legal penalties, data breach notifications, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the MongoDB Rust Driver to the latest patched version to address the improper neutralization issue in GridFS file identifier handling.
