After generate packages for Ubuntu 20.04, I installed it and I did not observe netdata linked with mongoc. In addition to this, I received a warning libmogo-c is not necessary in my VM. LGTM!

Summary
The version of libbson that is available without Ubuntu Pro in these versions of Ubuntu has multiple known security issues (CVE-2024-6381, CVE-2024-6383, CVE-2025-0755). libbson is a mandatory dependency for our MongoDB exporter, and thus Netdata’s native packages being installed on a system running one of these versions of Ubuntu without Ubuntu Pro will cause the system to fail certain types of security audits.
As our MongoDB exporter appears to not be widely used, we’re simply disabling it for native package builds for affected platforms. Users on these platforms who need the MongoDB exporter are encouraged to use our static builds instead, which do not suffer from these security issues.
