SCA: security update for com.rabbitmq:amqp-client (GHSA-5xwg-cfvj-gff5)

info Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446063

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 5.33.0, the AMQP connection tuning path records the negotiated AMQP frame_max
 value, but src/main/java/com/rabbitmq/client/impl/SocketFrameHandler.java and NettyFrameHandlerFactory
 continue to validate broker-controlled frame payload lengths against maxInboundMessageBodySize because the
 negotiated limit is not applied consistently through setMaxInboundFramePayloadSize. A malicious or
 compromised broker can send a method frame larger than the negotiated frame_max during or after connection
 establishment, causing the client to allocate and decode a protocol-invalid frame instead of rejecting it
 with MalformedFrameException. The protocol violation can disrupt the affected connection and cause client-
 side denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 5.33.0. (CVE-2026-61634)

Solution

Update the com.rabbitmq:amqp-client library and its related packages to version 5.33.0 or later.
