K59209532 : NGINX Controller NATS vulnerability CVE-2020-5910

Security Advisory Description

The Neural Autonomic Transport System (NATS) messaging services in use by the NGINX Controller do not require any form of authentication, so any successful connection would be authorized. (CVE-2020-5910)

Impact

A malicious user with access to the host where NGINX Controller is running on may eavesdrop on NATS connections and, thereby, gain unauthorized access data stored in the message queue.
