DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write in the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver allows an authenticated low-privileged user to crash the client application performing data reads through the connector. The driver fails to validate destination buffer size when converting floating-point column values to their string representations, enabling memory corruption when sufficiently large float values are encountered. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two concurrent conditions: the attacker must have write access to at least one MongoDB collection that is configured for exposure through the BI Connector, and a client application must actively read that collection via the ODBC driver with a field type mapped to text. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) scores this at 7.1, reflecting network-reachable exploitation by a low-privileged attacker with no complexity barrier, yielding high availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver to version 1.4.9, which adds logic to clamp large floats during the float-to-string conversion, directly resolving this vulnerability as confirmed in the official release notes at https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-bi-connector-odbc-driver/releases/tag/v1.4.9. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver instances in your environment and document their current versions. …
