CVE-2026-33222 Details
Description
NATS-Server is a High-Performance server for NATS.io, a cloud and edge native messaging system. Prior to versions 2.11.15 and 2.12.6, users with JetStream admin API access to restore one stream could restore to other stream names, impacting data which should have been protected against them. Versions 2.11.15 and 2.12.6 contain a fix. As a workaround, if developers have configured users to have limited JetStream restore permissions, temporarily remove those permissions.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in NATS-Server versions prior to 2.11.15 and 2.12.6. This vulnerability allows users with JetStream admin API access to restore one stream to other stream names, potentially overwriting data that should have been protected. The issue arises in the JetStream management API, which includes backup and restore features.
Users can upgrade to NATS-Server versions 2.12.6 or 2.11.15. If users have been granted limited JetStream restore permissions, those permissions should be temporarily removed.
