Summary
MongoDB Ops Manager from 7.0.0 through 7.0.23 and from 8.0.0 before 8.0.27 is affected by uncontrolled resource consumption, classified as CWE-770. The monitoring endpoints perform costly work for each request and do not enforce rate limiting. An unauthenticated remote attacker with network access to the Ops Manager web port can repeat these requests, which can temporarily slow other traffic served by the same process.

Description from the CNA
An unauthenticated user with network access to the Ops Manager web port can repeatedly request monitoring endpoints that perform costly work without rate limiting. This can temporarily slow other traffic served by the same process while requests continue.
