- MongoDB Database Tools mongofiles does not resolve existing parent-directory symlinks when validating
output paths for get_regex. An unauthorized user who can both upload a GridFS file and place a symlink in
the operator's download working directory can cause a later retrieval to create a file containing
unauthorized user-controlled data outside that directory, using the operator process's filesystem
permissions. The issue can occur with default traversal and overwrite settings. Exploitation requires an
operator to retrieve matching files from the affected working directory; the demonstrated default behavior
creates a new file rather than overwriting an existing file. This issue affects MongoDB Database Tools
versions 100.2.0 through versions before 100.20.1. (CVE-2026-119673)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
