CVE-2026-58208

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

NATS Server is a high-performance server for NATS.io, the cloud and edge native messaging system. Prior to 2.14.3 and 2.12.12, a WebSocket listener could route requests for the MQTT-over-WebSocket path into MQTT handling even when MQTT was not configured, allowing an unauthenticated client with access to the WebSocket listener to reach uninitialized MQTT state and crash the server process. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.3 and 2.12.12.

Antes de las versiones 2.14.3 y 2.12.12, un oyente de WebSocket podía enrutar solicitudes para la ruta MQTT-over-WebSocket hacia el manejo de MQTT incluso cuando MQTT no estaba configurado, permitiendo a un cliente no autenticado con acceso al oyente de WebSocket alcanzar un estado MQTT no inicializado y colapsar el proceso del servidor. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 2.14.3 y 2.12.12."
