Network vector but requires MITM/rogue-endpoint positioning (AC:H); pre-authentication processing gives PR:N/UI:N; heap OOB write yields full C/I/A with no scope change.

3DescriptionCVE.org
A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the TLS transport layer of the MongoDB C Driver when built with the Windows platform TLS backend. A remote endpoint that the client connects to, or an attacker able to impersonate or redirect the client's connection, can cause the driver to write attacker-supplied data outside the bounds of a heap allocation while processing incoming encrypted traffic. No authentication or user interaction is required, because the affected processing occurs before any application-level authentication completes. Successful exploitation may lead to memory corruption in the client process, disclosure of adjacent heap memory, or termination of the process.

AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in the TLS transport layer of the MongoDB C Driver on Windows TLS-backend builds allows the endpoint a client connects to - or an attacker able to impersonate, redirect, or man-in-the-middle that connection - to write attacker-supplied data outside the bounds of a heap allocation while the driver processes incoming encrypted traffic, causing memory corruption, disclosure of adjacent heap memory, or termination of the client process. The flaw is reachable before any application-level authentication completes, so no credentials or user interaction are needed (CVSS PR:N/UI:N), and the vendor rates it 9.2 under CVSS 4.0; however, our assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects the real gating factors - this is a client-side defect that only fires when the driver connects to an attacker-controlled endpoint or when the attacker can intercept or redirect the connection (AC:H, AT:P), and only in builds compiled against the Windows platform TLS backend. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitable only when the MongoDB C Driver is built with the Windows platform (Secure Channel/SChannel) TLS backend - builds using OpenSSL or other backends are not affected per the description. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The headline CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.2 (critical) is real but must be read against its own vector: AV:N with PR:N/UI:N (pre-authentication, network-reachable) is offset by AC:H and AT:P, which encode the key limiting fact - this is a CLIENT-side flaw that only triggers when the MongoDB C Driver connects to an endpoint the attacker controls, or when the attacker can MITM/redirect the client's connection. … 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 | No exact fixed version is specified in the available intelligence; the authoritative fix status and any patched release is tracked in the MongoDB issue https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CDRIVER-6417, so the first step is to monitor that issue and EI (EUVD-2026-82435) and upgrade to the first release MongoDB marks as fixed for each affected branch (1.24.x, 1.25.x, 1.26.x, 1.27.x, 1.28.x, 1.29.x, 1.30.x, 2.0.x-2.4.x). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all applications and services using the MongoDB C Driver on Windows and determine if they are compiled with the Windows TLS backend; immediately restrict outbound TLS connections to only trusted, verified MongoDB endpoints and enable strict certificate validation and hostname verification. …
