CVE-2026-58211

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 client could be registered as the configured no_auth_user through a parser path used when the first client operation was not CONNECT, bypassing user-level connection restrictions such as allowed_connection_types or proxy_required that normal authentication would apply. This issue is fixed in versions 2.14.3 and 2.12.12.

Summary		(es) NATS Server es un servidor de alto rendimiento para NATS.io, el sistema de mensajería nativo de la nube y del borde. Antes de las versiones 2.14.3 y 2.12.12, un cliente podía registrarse como el no_auth_user configurado a través de una ruta de analizador utilizada cuando la primera operación del cliente no era CONNECT, eludiendo las restricciones de conexión a nivel de usuario como allowed_connection_types o proxy_required que la autenticación normal aplicaría. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 2.14.3 y 2.12.12.
