CVE-2026-58213
Last modified
CVE-2026-58213 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. NATS Server is a high-performance server for NATS.io, the cloud and edge native messaging system. Prior to 2.14.1 and 2.12.9, an MQTT client could include protocol control characters in subscription filters that were later forwarded as NATS protocol data to route or leafnode connections, corrupting the forwarded protocol stream and allowing injection of unintended NATS protocol operations. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
