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, when using ACLs on message subjects, these ACLs were not applied in the `$MQTT.>` namespace, allowing MQTT clients to bypass ACL checks for MQTT subjects. Versions 2.11.15 and 2.12.6 contain a fix. No known workarounds are available.
