SCA: security update for com.rabbitmq:amqp-client (GHSA-5m9f-rphj-c435)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446066

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, com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory.useSslProtocol() and
 ConnectionFactory.useSslProtocol(String) configure com.rabbitmq.client.TrustEverythingTrustManager and
 leave hostname verification disabled, causing arbitrary server certificates, including self-signed
 certificates, to be accepted. A network attacker able to intercept a TLS connection can impersonate the
 RabbitMQ broker, read protected AMQP traffic, and modify traffic without certificate or hostname
 validation. The fix changes the production TLS helpers to use the JVM default trust store and enables
 hostname verification, while retaining an explicitly named development-only no-verification helper. This
 issue is fixed in version 5.33.0. (CVE-2026-63336)

Solution

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