  - MongoDB Database Tools mongorestore incorrectly URL-decodes an original collection name read from metadata
    when the corresponding dump filename has been truncated. A database user who can create and populate a
    suitably encoded collection can cause a later authorized directory restore to write those documents into a
    different collection that the user cannot modify directly. When both collection names resolve to the same
    destination, backed-up documents may be omitted; use of --drop can also replace the unintended destination
    collection. Exploitation requires an operator to restore the affected collection from a directory dump
    with write access to the destination. This issue affects MongoDB Database Tools versions 100.0.2 through
    versions before 100.20.1. (CVE-2026-119674)
