SCA: security update for com.rabbitmq:amqp-client (GHSA-cqgh-8p3p-mx4m)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473775

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 5.37.0, com.rabbitmq.tools.json.JSONReader.read() fails to terminate when input
 ends inside a quoted string or a line comment because its string and whitespace scanners do not stop at
 CharacterIterator.DONE. The default DefaultJsonRpcMapper passes JSON-RPC message bodies to this parser for
 JsonRpcServer and client replies. A truncated string causes the parser to append replacement end markers
 until heap exhaustion, while a line comment without a terminating newline can keep a thread consuming CPU
 indefinitely, resulting in denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 5.37.0. (CVE-2026-106121)

Solution

Update the com.rabbitmq:amqp-client library and its related packages to version 5.36.1 or later.
