SCA: security update for com.rabbitmq:amqp-client (GHSA-68mj-5wr7-6fgg)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446050

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 uses
 ValueReader.readBytes to accept a wire-declared contentLength below Integer.MAX_VALUE and allocate a byte
 array before checking the bytes available in the frame. A malicious AMQP peer can send a LongString or
 byte-array field with type tag S and a declared length such as 0x7FFFFFFE during the pre-authentication
 connection.start server-properties table, causing an approximately 2 GB allocation and OutOfMemoryError
 before readFully consumes data. The resulting memory exhaustion can terminate the JVM and cause denial of
 service. This issue is fixed in version 5.33.1. (CVE-2026-69219)

Solution

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