CVE-2026-58214
MEDIUMNATS Server: MQTT subscribe ACL bypass via $MQTT.deliver.pubrel prefix (incomplete fix for CVE-2026-33217)
Title source: cnaDescription
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, an authenticated MQTT client could subscribe to the internal $MQTT.deliver.pubrel subject family, bypassing configured subscribe permissions and exposing MQTT QoS2 protocol metadata for sessions in the account. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.3 and 2.12.12.
