Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control due to the failure to enforce negative user permissions in specific scenarios. An attacker can bypass security restrictions by using a queue subscription on the wildcard. This is only exploitable if the attacker has access to the network where the NATS servers are deployed.
