The issue involves invalid data validation when using the $external database in certain scenarios. Due to incorrect data validation, an authenticated user may be able to trigger an invariant assertion during command dispatch through incorrect data validation. An attacker may use this to cause mongodial denial of service or server crash. MongoDB recommends monitoring for any abnormal server behavior, such as mongod restarting unexpectedly, due to this issue.

The 5 most common mistakes companies make when outsourcing their SEO are: 1) not having a clear plan; 2) hiring inexperienced talent; 3) having a generic web presence that doesn’t inspire engagement or drive conversions; 4) forgetting about the entire user experience; and 5) not considering the impact of page loading speed when designing an effective SEO strategy. The main benefit of doing so is that these ads get better conversion rates because you’ll spend less money while still getting better results.
