| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the affected application specifically call bson.RawArray.Validate or bsoncore.Array.Validate on raw BSON array data that an unauthenticated attacker can supply (e.g. an externally-reachable input path). The limiting factor captured by CVSS 4.0 AT:P is that applications which never invoke these Validate methods on untrusted input, or that recover from panics (e.g. via a recover() handler or a process supervisor that restarts the worker), are not exploitable or only momentarily disrupted. Impact is confined to process termination - the description explicitly rules out confidentiality and integrity impact - so the realistic blast radius is availability of the specific unprotected process only. |
| Impact | This is a denial-of-service-only vulnerability in the MongoDB Go Driver (CWE-129, improper validation of array index). The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) scores 8.2, driven almost entirely by network reach, no authentication (PR:N), and high availability impact (VA:H) with zero confidentiality or integrity impact - consistent with the description's statement that only process termination occurs. The key tempering signal is AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present): exploitation is not universal against every deployment but conditional on the application actually calling bson.RawArray.Validate or bsoncore.Array.Validate on attacker-supplied raw BSON. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input; exploitation status is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The 8.2 'High' rating reflects CVSS 4.0's weighting of unauthenticated network availability loss rather than a broadly weaponized threat - realistic priority is moderate: high for the specific subset of services that validate untrusted raw BSON arrays, low for the many applications that never invoke these Validate methods on external input. No conflicting signals were found, but EPSS and KEV data are simply absent rather than confirmed-negative, so widespread-exploitation likelihood cannot be independently quantified. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A Go service that accepts externally-supplied BSON (for example an API ingesting documents or a message consumer) passes attacker-controlled bytes to bson.RawArray.Validate or bsoncore.Array.Validate. The attacker sends a malformed four-byte array whose declared length triggers an out-of-bounds index, causing a runtime panic that crashes the unprotected process. No authentication is required (PR:N) and the attack is low-complexity to deliver over the network, though it only yields denial of service; no public exploit code was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Denial of service in the MongoDB Go Driver can be triggered when an application calls bson.RawArray.Validate or bsoncore.Array.Validate on a malformed four-byte BSON array supplied by an unauthenticated remote source, causing an out-of-bounds index and a runtime panic that may terminate the unprotected process. The CVE carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.2, but our assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) reflects the prerequisite that the vulnerable Validate methods must be invoked on attacker-controlled raw BSON; applications that never call these methods on untrusted input or that recover from panics are not materially impacted. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, no confidentiality or integrity impact has been identified, and the realistic blast radius is availability of the specific unprotected process.
RemediationAI
Apply the patched MongoDB Go Driver release once MongoDB publishes it; no exact fixed version is supplied in the provided data, so use https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/GODRIVER-4136 to obtain the authoritative version and advisory. If immediate upgrade is not possible, avoid calling bson.RawArray.Validate or bsoncore.Array.Validate on attacker-supplied raw BSON, and instead validate the declared BSON array length against the remaining buffer size before invoking the driver parser. Wrap affected request handlers in a recover() handler so a panic does not terminate the whole process, though this can mask other programming faults and should be paired with logging. Run the service under a process supervisor that restarts failed workers, accepting brief availability loss during panic-triggered restarts. Limit network exposure of endpoints that accept BSON arrays and reject malformed four-byte arrays at the application boundary where feasible.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The MongoDB Go Driver implements BSON encoding and decoding for Go applications, and its bson.RawArray.Validate and bsoncore.Array.Validate routines are intended to check the structural validity of BSON array data. This issue is rooted in CWE-129, improper validation of array index: the parser mishandles a malformed four-byte BSON array by failing to validate the declared array length against the available buffer before indexing into it, producing an out-of-bounds access and a Go runtime panic. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:mongodb:go_driver:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the MongoDB Go Driver as the affected package, but the wildcard version does not pin a single release in the provided data, so affected versions should be confirmed against MongoDB's GODRIVER-4136 tracking ticket. The impact is availability-only because the panic terminates the process rather than exposing or modifying data, and exploitation is conditional on the application exposing one of these Validate methods to attacker-controlled raw BSON.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Improper validation of a BSON array length in the MongoDB Go Driver can cause an out-of-bounds index and runtime panic when an application calls bson.RawArray.Validate or bsoncore.Array.Validate on a malformed four-byte array. An unauthenticated actor who can supply raw BSON array data to an affected application may terminate an unprotected application process, causing a denial of service. No confidentiality or integrity impact has been identified.

Executive ViewAI
The MongoDB Go Driver contains a high-severity denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2026-107325) that can be triggered by unauthenticated remote input under specific application conditions. Organizations using the driver in services that validate untrusted BSON arrays may experience unexpected process terminations, impacting service availability. With no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, leadership should ensure immediate mitigations are in place to protect critical services.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include avoiding calls to bson.RawArray.Validate or bsoncore.Array.Validate on untrusted input, implementing strict input validation, adding panic recovery, and restricting network access to affected services.
