CVE-2026-6231

The bson_validate function may return early on specific inputs and incorrectly report success. This behavior could result in skipping validation for BSON data, allowing malformed or invalid UTF-8 sequences to bypass validation and be processed incorrectly. The issue may affect applications that rely on these functions to validate untrusted BSON data before further processing. This issue affects MongoDB C Driver versions prior to 1.30.5, MongoDB C Driver version 2.0.0 and MongoDB C Driver version 2.0.1
