## Overview

When ssl was enabled for Mongo Hook, default settings included "allow_insecure" which caused that certificates were not validated. This was unexpected and undocumented.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.0, which fixes this issue.

## Affected packages

- `apache-airflow-providers-mongo < 4.0.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `apache-airflow-providers-mongo 4.0.0`
