CVE-2026-18888 PUBLISHED

MongoDB BI Connector ODBC driver may write outside an allocated buffer when retrieving large floating point values as character data

Assigner: mongodb
Reserved: 04.08.2026 Published: 12.08.2026 Updated: 13.08.2026

The MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver converts floating point column values into text without checking that the result fits within the destination buffer. When an application reads a sufficiently large floating point value as text, the driver may write beyond the end of that buffer and corrupt adjacent memory. A user who can store data in a collection read through the BI Connector could use this to crash the application performing the read.
