      Description from contributor PR: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-csharp-driver/pull/401

      You can make any comparsion by an equal operator if you compare to BsonDocument for example:

      Example
      Unable to find source-code formatter for language: csharp. Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
      IMongoCollection<BsonDocument> collection;
      var value = new BsonDocument { { "$gt", 3 } };
      var query = collection.Find(x => x["field"] == value);
      
      //it will execute:
      //find({ "field" : { "$gt" : 3 } })
      

      I think it can cause security vulnerability for unaware developer, who trust, that equal operator always will test for equality:

      public List<BsonDocument> GetObjectByUser(IMongoCollection<BsonDocument> collection, BsonValue data)
      {
      	return collection.Find(x => x["userId"] == data["userId"]).ToList();
      }
      public void Attack(IMongoCollection<BsonDocument> collection)
      {
      	var data = GetObjectByUser(collection, new BsonDocument { { "userId", new BsonDocument { { "$ne", ObjectId.Empty } } } });
      }
