RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to 4.2.6, the RabbitMQ stream listener does not enforce the configured stream frame-size limit while assembling frames during authentication and before Tune negotiation, allowing an unauthenticated remote client to declare oversized frame lengths and consume broker memory in rabbit_stream_core. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.6.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES16 / SLES_SAP16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:23869-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2026-44839: XSS in management UI due to unsanitized vhost names (bsc#1266465).

    - CVE-2026-57213: stored XSS in RabbitMQ federation management plugin via unsanitized consumer_tag     rendering       (bsc#1271336).
    - CVE-2026-57214: stored XSS in RabbitMQ management UI (bsc#1271337).
    - CVE-2026-57215: direct-reply-to binding persistence can lead to unauthorized reply-channel injection and     persistent       phantom (bsc#1271338).
    - CVE-2026-57216: stream Protocol loopback enforcement can lead to remote guest sessions due to listener-     address       loopback checks (bsc#1271339).
    - CVE-2026-57217: topic authorization can lead to cross-tenant routing-key bypass (bsc#1271340).
    - CVE-2026-57218: consumer persistence can lead to post-revocation message disclosure in OAuth2     (bsc#1271343).
    - CVE-2026-57219: Unauthenticated disclosure of OAuth client credentials via an HTTP API endpoint with     certain less       common OAuth 2 configurations (bsc#1271344).
    - CVE-2026-57220: stream listener does not enforce configured frame-size limit during authentication,     permitting       unauth'd mem-exhaust DoS (bsc#1271345).
    - CVE-2026-57221: passive queue/exchange declaration bypasses authorization checks, leaking queue metadata     to       unprivileged users (bsc#1271346).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security 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 affected by a denial of service vulnerability:

  - The RabbitMQ stream listener does not enforce the configured stream frame-size limit while assembling frames during     authentication and before Tune negotiation, allowing an unauthenticated remote client to declare oversized frame     lengths and consume broker memory in rabbit_stream_core. (CVE-2026-57220)

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.

  - RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to 4.2.6, the RabbitMQ stream listener does not     enforce the configured stream frame-size limit while assembling frames during authentication and before     Tune negotiation, allowing an unauthenticated remote client to declare oversized frame lengths and consume     broker memory in rabbit_stream_core. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.6. (CVE-2026-57220)

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