Recent MongoDB C Driver Security Vulnerabilities
When calling bson_utf8_validate on some inputs a loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached may occur, i.e
CVE-2023-0437
7.5 - High
- January 12, 2024
When calling bson_utf8_validate on some inputs a loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached may occur, i.e. an infinite loop. This issue affects All MongoDB C Driver versions prior to versions 1.25.0.
Infinite Loop
Some MongoDB Drivers may erroneously publish events containing authentication-related data to a command listener configured by an application
CVE-2021-32050
7.5 - High
- August 29, 2023
Some MongoDB Drivers may erroneously publish events containing authentication-related data to a command listener configured by an application. The published events may contain security-sensitive data when specific authentication-related commands are executed. Without due care, an application may inadvertently expose this sensitive information, e.g., by writing it to a log file. This issue only arises if an application enables the command listener feature (this is not enabled by default). This issue affects the MongoDB C Driver 1.0.0 prior to 1.17.7, MongoDB PHP Driver 1.0.0 prior to 1.9.2, MongoDB Swift Driver 1.0.0 prior to 1.1.1, MongoDB Node.js Driver 3.6 prior to 3.6.10, MongoDB Node.js Driver 4.0 prior to 4.17.0 and MongoDB Node.js Driver 5.0 prior to 5.8.0. This issue also affects users of the MongoDB C++ Driver dependent on the C driver 1.0.0 prior to 1.17.7 (C++ driver prior to 3.7.0).
Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
Under very specific circumstances (see Required configuration section below), a privileged user is able to cause arbitrary code to be executed
CVE-2022-48282
7.2 - High
- February 21, 2023
Under very specific circumstances (see Required configuration section below), a privileged user is able to cause arbitrary code to be executed which may cause further disruption to services. This is specific to applications written in C#. This affects all MongoDB .NET/C# Driver versions prior to and including v2.18.0 Following configuration must be true for the vulnerability to be applicable: * Application must written in C# taking arbitrary data from users and serializing data using _t without any validation AND * Application must be running on a Windows host using the full .NET Framework, not .NET Core AND * Application must have domain model class with a property/field explicitly of type System.Object or a collection of type System.Object (against MongoDB best practice) AND * Malicious attacker must have unrestricted insert access to target database to add a _t discriminator."Following configuration must be true for the vulnerability to be applicable
Marshaling, Unmarshaling
Specific versions of the MongoDB C# Driver may erroneously publish events containing authentication-related data to a command listener configured by an application
CVE-2021-20331
4.9 - Medium
- May 13, 2021
Specific versions of the MongoDB C# Driver may erroneously publish events containing authentication-related data to a command listener configured by an application. The published events may contain security-sensitive data when commands such as "saslStart", "saslContinue", "isMaster", "createUser", and "updateUser" are executed. Without due care, an application may inadvertently expose this authenticated-related information, e.g., by writing it to a log file. This issue only arises if an application enables the command listener feature (this is not enabled by default). This issue affects the MongoDB C# Driver v2.12 versions prior to and including 2.12.1.
Information Disclosure
bson before 0.8 incorrectly uses int rather than size_t for many variables, parameters, and return values

5.5 - Medium
- April 24, 2020
bson before 0.8 incorrectly uses int rather than size_t for many variables, parameters, and return values. In particular, the bson_ensure_space() parameter bytesNeeded could have an integer overflow via properly constructed bson input.
