      It is a big security risk to allow anonymous authentication against a mongo server. This allows an unauthorized user to gain attack vector information about the database.

      All of the below commands can be run using an anonymous authentication:

      db.serverBuildInfo()
      db.version()
      db.adminCommand({ping:1})
      db.adminCommand({whatsmyuri:1})
      db.adminCommand({features:1})
