Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.14%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue in MongoDB Server could allow an authenticated user with direct network access to a shard to improperly commit or abort an in-progress prepared transaction, bypassing the intended transaction coordination process. This could result in cross-shard data inconsistency, cluster clock corruption, and violation of transaction atomicity guarantees.
