Summary

CVE-2026-88028 is a high-severity Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic (CWE-943) vulnerability in Mongodb (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 15th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the polymorphic relation handling of the MongoDB integration for Laravel can cause a caller-supplied relation identifier to be interpreted as a query condition rather than as a literal identifier. An…

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation directly stops unneutralized special elements from reaching query logic.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require parameterized queries and input neutralization to prevent query-logic injection.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and query parameterization that directly prevent injection flaws.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection and improper query construction.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the likelihood of query-logic flaws but do not prescribe the specific coding practice.

prevents

Secure coding standards require proper neutralization of special elements in all data queries.

finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release but does not itself implement the fix.

prevents

Outsourced development agreements can require secure coding practices, indirectly mitigating the weakness.
