Overview

CVE-2026-88031 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting mongodb go_driver. It was published on September 10, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the GridFS component of the MongoDB Go 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 cause all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket to be removed, rendering stored file content unreadable.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from mongodb. Update go_driver to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
