  - When run on commands with certain arguments set, explain may fail to validate these arguments before 
    using them. This can lead to crashes in router servers. This affects MongoDB Server v5.0 prior to 5.0.31, 
    MongoDB Server v6.0 prior to 6.0.20, MongoDB Server v7.0 prior to 7.0.16 and MongoDB Server v8.0 prior
