CVE-2026-33219 (GCVE-0-2026-33219)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-25 19:55 – Updated: 2026-09-09 12:05

Title

NATS is vulnerable to pre-auth DoS through WebSockets client service

Summary

NATS-Server is a High-Performance server for NATS.io, a cloud and edge native messaging system. Prior to versions 2.11.15 and 2.12.6, a malicious client which can connect to the WebSockets port can cause unbounded memory use in the nats-server before authentication; this requires sending a corresponding amount of data. This is a milder variant of CVE-2026-27571. That earlier issue was a compression bomb, this vulnerability is not. Attacks against this new issue thus require significant client bandwidth. Versions 2.11.15 and 2.12.6 contain a fix. As a workaround, disable websockets if not required for project deployment.

GHSA-8R68-GVR4-JH7J

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-24 21:46 – Updated: 2026-03-27 22:09

Summary

NATS is vulnerable to pre-auth DoS through WebSockets client service

Details

Background

NATS.io is a high performance open source pub-sub distributed communication technology, built for the cloud, on-premise, IoT, and edge computing.

The nats-server offers a WebSockets client service, used in deployments where browsers are the NATS clients.

Problem Description

A malicious client which can connect to the WebSockets port can cause unbounded memory use in the nats-server before authentication; this requires sending a corresponding amount of data.

This is a milder variant of NATS-advisory-ID 2026-02 (aka CVE-2026-27571; GHSA-qrvq-68c2-7grw). That earlier issue was a compression bomb, this vulnerability is not. Attacks against this new issue thus require significant client bandwidth.

Affected Versions

Any version before v2.12.6 or v2.11.15

Workarounds

Disable websockets if not required for project deployment.

Severity

5.3 (Medium)
