Out-of-Bounds Write in MongoDB Bi Connector Odbc Driver (CVE-2026-18888)
Summary
Out-of-bounds write in MongoDB Bi Connector Odbc Driver (CVE-2026-18888). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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.
