CVE-2026-126839
Deserialization allow-list bypass via anonymous-type misdetection in BSON object deserialization
Description

A deserialization type-restriction control in the BSON serialization component can be bypassed because the check used to recognize a class of compiler-generated types relies on an overly permissive heuristic rather than a precise identification. An unauthorized party able to supply BSON content that an application later deserializes into a loosely typed member can cause types outside the intended allow-list to be constructed and populated with unauthorized party-supplied values inside the consuming application. This can lead to unexpected object state and errors in downstream application logic. No elevated privileges beyond the ability to place unauthorized party-influenced content in the deserialization path are required.

CVSS 4.0 LOW a39b4221-9bd0-4244-95fc-f3e2e07f1deb
CVSS 4.0 LOW [email protected]
Solution
Restrict deserialization to known safe types and avoid relying on heuristics.
  • Update the component to precisely identify types.
  • Avoid deserializing untrusted data.
  • Use explicit type allow-lists.
  • Validate deserialized object states.
