SCA: security update for com.rabbitmq:amqp-client (GHSA-7822-rcf6-97fx)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473799

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 5.36.0, ValueReader.readShortstr decodes malformed UTF-8 bytes into replacement
 characters that can re-encode beyond the AMQP shortstr limit enforced by ValueWriter.writeShortstr. An
 attacker who can submit an RPC message with a malformed echoed property can cause reply publication in
 RpcServer.mainloop() or tutorial-style consumers to throw an unchecked exception before acknowledgement.
 The broker requeues the message, allowing the same message to disable replacement consumers until the
 queue is purged. This issue is fixed in version 5.36.0. (CVE-2026-106122)

Solution

Update the com.rabbitmq:amqp-client library and its related packages to version 5.36.0 or later.
