CVE-2026-58211 Details
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 client could be registered as the configured no_auth_user through a parser path used when the first client operation was not CONNECT, bypassing user-level connection restrictions such as allowed_connection_types or proxy_required that normal authentication would apply. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.3 and 2.12.12.
A vulnerability in NATS Server prior to versions 2.14.3 and 2.12.12 allows clients to bypass user-level connection restrictions. This issue arises when a client is registered as the 'no_auth_user' through a parser path that does not involve a CONNECT operation, thereby circumventing normal authentication processes. As a result, unauthenticated clients could gain permissions intended for default users, particularly in deployments using 'no_auth_user' alongside 'allowed_connection_types' or 'proxy_required' restrictions.
Users are advised to avoid configuring 'no_auth_user' with permissions that depend solely on 'allowed_connection_types' or 'proxy_required'. For those already affected, updating to NATS Server versions 2.14.3 or 2.12.12 is recommended.
