SCA: security update for com.rabbitmq:amqp-client (GHSA-93j5-89vc-pph4)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446061

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- The RabbitMQ Java client library allows Java and JVM-based applications to connect to and interact with
RabbitMQ nodes. Prior to 5.33.1, src/main/java/com/rabbitmq/client/impl/ValueReader.java permits
ValueReader.readTable and ValueReader.readArray to call ValueReader.readFieldValue recursively for AMQP
table type F and AMQP array type A values without a nesting-depth limit. A malicious AMQP server or
network intermediary can send approximately 580 nested table levels in the pre-authentication
connection.start frame, fitting within the default 131072-byte frame maximum, to trigger
StackOverflowError. The error terminates the client input processing thread and causes denial of service.
This issue is fixed in version 5.33.1. (CVE-2026-69220)

Solution

Update the com.rabbitmq:amqp-client library and its related packages to version 5.33.1 or later.
