SUSE SLES15 Security Update : python-pymongo (SUSE-SU-2026:4398-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 362541

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:4398-1 advisory.

 - CVE-2026-96747: improper handling of key management endpoint values ending in `.sock` allows users with write access to the encryption key metadata to open connections to local sockets on the application host (bsc#1282844).
 - CVE-2026-96748: host injection in connection string leading to database connection redirection due to improper connection string parsing (bsc#1282827).
 - CVE-2026-96749: integer overflow in BSON document encoding allows an unprivileged user to write outside the bounds of an allocated buffer (bsc#1282845).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected python3-pymongo package.
