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.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `python_driver >= 1.6, < 4.18.1`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `python_driver 4.18.1`\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI), Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 (Queens), Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2, Red Hat Satellite 6 · no fix planned: Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 (Queens), Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI), Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2, Red Hat Satellite 6 · updated 2026-10-19 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-88029.json)\n- **RHSA-2026:82858** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8) · released 2026-10-14 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:82858)\n- **RHSA-2026:84734** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.4 · released 2026-10-19 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:84734)\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-88029)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `pymongo <= 4.18.0`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `pymongo 4.18.1`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8fvv-fgr5-f8ch","depth":"twilight","depthScore":46,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":45.7,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
