The internal locking mechanism of the MongoDB server uses an internal encoding of the resources in order to choose what lock to take. Collections may inadvertently collide with one another in this representation causing unavailability between them due to conflicting locks.
Weakness
The product properly checks for the existence of a lock, but the lock can be externally controlled or influenced by an actor that is outside of the intended sphere of control.
