CWE-215  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2/server to version 2.11.15, 2.12.6 or higher.

Overview

github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2/server is an A simple, secure and performant communications system for digital systems, services and devices.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure through the RedactArgs/os.Args handling in server/opts.go. An attacker can view static credentials such as --user, --pass, or --auth by accessing the monitoring port’s /debug/vars endpoint when the server is started with those secrets on the command line.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by storing credentials in a configuration file rather than via command-line arguments, or by not enabling the monitoring port when using secrets in argv.
