RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to 4.2.5, the RabbitMQ management UI renders the x-internal-purpose queue or exchange argument into an HTML title attribute without proper escaping on the Queues and Exchanges pages, allowing a user with permission to declare a queue or exchange to execute JavaScript in another user's browser. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.5.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-130061 advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of RabbitMQ installed on the remote host is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability:

  - The RabbitMQ management UI renders the x-internal-purpose queue or exchange argument into an HTML title attribute     without proper escaping on the Queues and Exchanges pages, allowing a user with permission to declare a queue or     exchange to execute JavaScript in another user's browser. (CVE-2026-57214)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

This issue is fixed in version 4.2.5. (CVE-2026-57214)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
