CVE-2026-19001: MongoDB BI Connector ODBC driver may write outside an allocated buffer when handling oversized catalog object names
The MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver may write outside the bounds of a fixed-size buffer when an application supplies an unusually long catalog, schema, or object name to a metadata retrieval function. This may result in memory corruption within the calling application's process, leading to abnormal termination and, under certain conditions, the potential for arbitrary code execution.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A specially oversized database catalog, schema, or object name can corrupt memory in an application using the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver. The application may crash and, in some conditions, attacker-controlled code could run with that application's permissions, threatening confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Executive priority
Treat confirmed version 1.0.0 deployments as urgent because compromise could affect application data and availability. Prioritize internet-facing or untrusted-input applications first. The absence of reported exploitation lowers immediate evidence of attack, but does not offset the critical technical impact.
Technical view
CVE-2026-19001 is an out-of-bounds write involving a fixed-size buffer during ODBC metadata retrieval. The supplied CVSS 3.1 score is 9.8: network-accessible, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. The source bundle identifies version 1.0.0 as affected and lists CWE-190, while describing memory corruption and possible arbitrary code execution.
Likely exposure
Exposure requires the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver, specifically the listed 1.0.0 version, and an application path where oversized metadata names can reach affected retrieval functions. The bundle marks other versions unaffected by default, but asset owners should verify exact installed versions and application data flows.
Exploitation context
The CVSS vector indicates remote exploitation may be possible without credentials or user interaction. However, the source bundle provides no proof of concept, observed attacks, or confirmed exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV. Treat code execution as potential rather than demonstrated.
Researcher notes
The evidence is limited to the CVE record, CVE List data, and a referenced GitHub release. The bundle does not explicitly state that release 1.4.9 fixes this CVE, so remediation claims require vendor confirmation. The CWE-190 classification should be interpreted alongside the supplied out-of-bounds-write description.
Mitigation direction
Inventory applications and hosts using the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver.
Prioritize removal or isolation of confirmed version 1.0.0 deployments.
Check MongoDB's release guidance to confirm the version containing the official correction.
Upgrade according to verified vendor guidance and normal change-control procedures.
Restrict untrusted input from reaching ODBC metadata retrieval paths where feasible.
Validation and detection
Confirm the installed ODBC driver version on every relevant application host.
Identify whether applications expose metadata retrieval operations to untrusted or remote inputs.
Review crash, memory-corruption, and abnormal-process logs around ODBC metadata activity.
After remediation, verify the vulnerable driver version is absent from deployment inventories.
Monitor MongoDB and CVE sources for clarified affected versions and remediation details.
