PYTHON-5994 Use exact match for file ID in GridFS delete methods
Medium6.1CVE-2026-88029 · Published Sep 15, 2026
### Impact When reading/writing via an ID with the GridFS API, require an exact match on the given ID. Otherwise, if a Hash is given in place of the ID, it may be interpreted as criteria, overriding the ID match. ### Patches Patch available in pymongo >= 4.18.1 ### Workarounds Ensure your existing workflow _only_ supports exact matching on the GridFS API. ### References https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PYTHON-5992
