CVE-2026-29785

NATS-Server is a High-Performance server for NATS.io, a cloud and edge native messaging system. Prior to versions 2.11.14 and 2.12.5, if the nats-server has the "leafnode" configuration enabled (not default), then anyone who can connect can crash the nats-server by triggering a panic. This happens pre-authentication and requires that compression be enabled (which it is, by default, when leafnodes are used). Versions 2.11.14 and 2.12.5 contain a fix. As a workaround, disable compression on the leafnode port.

Summary
  • (es) NATS-Server es un servidor de alto rendimiento para NATS.io, un sistema de mensajería nativo de la nube y del borde. Antes de las versiones 2.11.14 y 2.12.5, si el nats-server tiene la configuración 'leafnode' habilitada (no predeterminada), entonces cualquiera que pueda conectarse puede bloquear el nats-server al desencadenar un pánico. Esto ocurre antes de la autenticación y requiere que la compresión esté habilitada (lo cual está habilitado, por defecto, cuando se usan leafnodes). Las versiones 2.11.14 y 2.12.5 contienen una corrección. Como solución alternativa, deshabilite la compresión en el puerto leafnode.
