MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.25%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A user authorized to perform database queries may trigger denial of service by issuing specially crafted applyOps invocations. This issue affects MongoDB Server v4.0 versions prior to 4.0.10 and MongoDB Server v3.6 versions prior to 3.6.13.
