Impact
The vulnerability is a memory‑safety flaw in the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver. The driver mishandles output parameters returned by a stored procedure, potentially causing a null pointer dereference or similar failure. An attacker who can supply crafted metadata from an untrusted or impersonated database server can trigger the flaw, leading to process termination, exposure of in‑process memory, and in some circumstances arbitrary code execution. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑122: Heap‑based Buffer Overflow.
Affected Systems
MongoDB: BI Connector ODBC Driver. All installations of the driver that are older than the latest known release (tag v1.4.9) are vulnerable. No specific version range is listed, but the vulnerability applies to any driver used with an untrusted or impersonated database server that can return malicious metadata.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity. EPSS score is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation is unknown, though the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker to configure a database server that the application connects to, or to impersonate one, and to return crafted metadata during the execution of a stored procedure. No publicly available exploit code is known at this time, but the path to exploitation is clear. The vulnerability is fixed in the driver release v1.4.9.
