  - An unauthorized user may leverage a specially crafted aggregation pipeline to access data without proper 
    authorization due to improper handling of the $mergeCursors stage in MongoDB Server. This may lead to 
    access to data without further authorisation. This issue affects MongoDB Server MongoDB Server v8.0
