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.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `nats-server < 2.11.15`\n- `nats-server >= 2.12.0, < 2.12.6`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `nats-server 2.12.6`\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2026:22347** · Red Hat · fixed in: Multicluster Global Hub 1.4.5 · released 2026-06-01 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:22347)\n- **RHSA-2026:23345** · Red Hat · fixed in: Multicluster Global Hub 1.6.5 · released 2026-06-04 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:23345)\n- **RHSA-2026:21769** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat multicluster global hub 1.5.3 · released 2026-05-28 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:21769)","depth":"twilight","depthScore":41,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":40.7,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
