{"id":"CVE-2026-93393","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-93393","generatedAt":"2026-09-20T12:32:59.138Z","title":"A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the TLS transport layer of the MongoDB C Driver when built with the Windows platform TLS backend.","description":"A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the TLS transport layer of the MongoDB C Driver when built with the Windows platform TLS backend. A remote endpoint that the client connects to can cause the driver to write uncontrolled data outside the bounds of a heap allocation while processing incoming encrypted traffic after the TLS handshake completes. No authentication or user interaction is required, because the affected processing occurs before any application-level authentication completes. Triggering this issue may lead to memory corruption in the client process, disclosure of adjacent heap memory, or termination of the process.","published":"2026-09-17T21:17:56.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-18T19:05:01.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"cna@mongodb.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":9.2,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-787"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00281,"percentile":0.20807,"date":"2026-09-19","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.28%).
