CVE-2026-58251
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 2.14.0, 2.12.7, and 2.11.16, an authenticated user with subscription deny permissions could bypass a plain subject deny rule by using a queue subscription, because queue-specific deny evaluation could override the plain subject deny result when the queue name itself was not denied. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.0, 2.12.7, and 2.11.16.

Antes de las versiones 2.14.0, 2.12.7 y 2.11.16, un usuario autenticado con permisos de denegación de suscripción podía eludir una regla de denegación de asunto simple al usar una suscripción de cola, porque la evaluación de denegación específica de la cola podía anular el resultado de denegación de asunto simple cuando el nombre de la cola en sí no estaba denegado. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 2.14.0, 2.12.7 y 2.11.16."
