The variable SOURCE_RUNNING is used without being initialized. This can lead to unpredictable behavior and potential security issues, as it may contain garbage values that could be exploited.
Impact:
Uninitialized variables can lead to incorrect program flow, data corruption, and potentially allow attackers to exploit other vulnerabilities in the system by injecting malicious code or commands through this untrusted input.
Mitigation:
Ensure all variables are properly initialized before use. For example, initialize SOURCE_RUNNING with an appropriate default value like `[]` at the point of declaration.

The `string_to_datetime` method in the `TimeOperations` class parses a string into a datetime object without proper validation of the input format. This can lead to an insecure date parsing vulnerability, potentially allowing attackers to inject or manipulate dates that could be used for various attacks.
Impact:
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a carefully crafted input string that triggers unexpected behavior during date parsing, potentially leading to denial of service (DoS) conditions or other malicious outcomes.
Mitigation:
Consider using a more robust method for parsing dates such as `dateutil.parser` with proper validation and sanitization of the input format to ensure it matches the expected pattern.

The code establishes a connection to MongoDB without proper validation of the server's certificate, which can lead to man-in-the-middle attacks. Additionally, the timeout for establishing this connection is set too high (2000 ms), potentially allowing for prolonged denial of service.
Impact:
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to MongoDB databases by intercepting and manipulating network traffic. This could lead to data leakage or manipulation, compromising the integrity and confidentiality of stored information.
