Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the GridFS component of the MongoDB Python 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 obtain stored file content beyond the intended target or cause all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket to be removed, rendering stored file content unreadable. The affected rename operation may also rename a stored file other than the intended target.

Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2026-09-17 09:39:38 UTC
The python-pdfminer has “Provides: bundled(python3dist(pymongo)),” so this issue was correctly filed. However, per https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-88029, the flaw in question is in the GridFS component of the MongoDB Python Driver. The python-pdfminer package only contains code derived from pymongo/saslprep.py, so it will not be affected by this CVE.
