CVE-2026-58208
Last modified
CVE-2026-58208 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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 WebSocket listener could route requests for the MQTT-over-WebSocket path into MQTT handling even when MQTT was not configured, allowing an unauthenticated client with access to the WebSocket listener to reach uninitialized MQTT state and crash the server process. EPSS estimates a 0.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
