github.com/nats-io/nats-server is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. The vulnerability is due to configureAccounts function in server.go which allows the creation of a no-authenticated user for the global account. This potentially leads an attacker to unauthorized access to the global account when specific conditions are met.
