The code uses hardcoded credentials for the MongoDB connection, which exposes it to credential stuffing attacks and makes it susceptible to brute-force attacks. The credentials are stored in plain text within the script.
Impact:
An attacker could gain unauthorized access to the database by guessing or using automated tools to try common passwords. This could lead to data theft, manipulation, or denial of service.
Mitigation:
Use environment variables to store sensitive information and avoid hardcoding credentials in your source code. Implement a least privilege principle for database users with restricted permissions.

The function `send_email_with_attachment_gmail` uses hardcoded email credentials (username and password) which are passed as parameters. This practice is insecure because it exposes the credentials to anyone who can access or inspect the code.
Impact:
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by intercepting these credentials, leading to unauthorized access to the email account used for sending emails from the application.
