{"cve":"CVE-2026-33247","nvd":{"published":"2026-03-25T20:16:33.223","modified":"2026-09-09T13:19:24.700","status":"Modified","description":"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, if a nats-server is run with static credentials for all clients provided via argv (the command-line), then those credentials are visible to any user who can see the monitoring port, if that too is enabled. The `/debug/vars` end-point contains an unredacted copy of argv. Versions 2.11.15 and 2.12.6 contain a fix. As a workaround, configure credentials inside a configuration file instead of via argv, and do not enable the monitoring port if using secrets in argv. Best practice remains to not expose the monitoring port to the Internet, or to untrusted network sources.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-215","CWE-214"],"references":["https://advisories.nats.io/CVE/secnote-2026-14.txt","https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/security/advisories/GHSA-x6g4-f6q3-fqvv","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:21769","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:22347","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:23345"],"products":["linuxfoundation:nats-server"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:18.033120106+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-33247","score":0.0043,"percentile":0.37222,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-x6g4-f6q3-fqvv","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-x6g4-f6q3-fqvv","summary":"NATS credentials are exposed in monitoring port via command-line argv","modified":"2026-09-10T03:51:00.786133263Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2","ranges":["<2.11.15"],"fixed":["2.11.15"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2","ranges":[">=2.12.0-RC.1 <2.12.6"],"fixed":["2.12.6"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-4827","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-4827","summary":"NATS credentials are exposed in monitoring port via command-line argv in github.com/nats-io/nats-server","modified":"2026-03-27T18:26:19.639452Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/nats-io/nats-server","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/nats-io/nats-server","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2","ranges":["<2.11.15",">=2.12.0-RC.1 <2.12.6"],"fixed":["2.11.15","2.12.6"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
