Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-88031

medium Nessus Plugin ID 344700

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the GridFS component of the MongoDB Go Driver can cause a caller-supplied structured file identifier to be interpreted as a query condition rather than as a literal identifier. An authenticated user who can influence the identifier passed by an affected application may cause all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket to be removed, rendering stored file content unreadable. (CVE-2026-88031)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
