CVE-2026-81525
Last modified
CVE-2026-81525 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The MongoDB client library for PHP does not sufficiently sanitize special elements in application-supplied namespace identifiers before using them to construct the target namespace for database operations. An application that incorporates untrusted text into these identifiers may have operations silently directed at a different storage location than the one the application intended.. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
