CVE-2026-58252
MEDIUMNATS Server: Subscribe Authz Bypass via Wildcard-Overlap
Title source: cnaDescription
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 could receive messages on denied subjects when a wildcard subscription overlapped with a configured wildcard deny rule but was not a subset of it, and queue subscriptions could also affect delivery to legitimate queue consumers. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.0, 2.12.7, and 2.11.16.
