+  "details": "### Background\n\nNATS.io is a high performance open source pub-sub distributed communication technology, built for the cloud, on-premise, IoT, and edge computing.\n\nThe nats-server provides an MQTT client interface.\n\n### Problem Description\n\nFor MQTT deployments using usercodes/passwords: MQTT passwords are incorrectly classified as a non-authenticating identity statement (JWT) and exposed via monitoring endpoints.\n\n### Affected Versions\n\nAny version before v2.12.6 or v2.11.15\n\n### Workarounds\n\nEnsure monitoring end-points are adequately secured.\n\nBest practice remains to not expose the monitoring endpoint to the Internet or other untrusted network users.",
