Last modified

CVE-2026-58251 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. NATS Server is a high-performance server for NATS.io, the cloud and edge native messaging system. Prior to 2.14.0, 2.12.7, and 2.11.16, an authenticated user with subscription deny permissions could bypass a plain subject deny rule by using a queue subscription, because queue-specific deny evaluation could override the plain subject deny result when the queue name itself was not denied. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
