SCA: security update for com.rabbitmq:amqp-client (GHSA-6g32-pxv4-2wfj)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446059

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.tools.jsonrpc.ProcedureDescription receives a javaReturnType
 value in an untrusted system.describe response and passes it through JSONUtil.tryFill, setJavaReturnType,
 and computeReturnTypeAsJavaClass to Class.forName(javaReturnType) with initialization enabled. An attacker
 able to answer the JsonRpcClient request through a shared broker or network interception can select a
 class already present in the victim JVM and trigger its static initializer, while JsonRpcClient.java later
 passes getReturnType output to mapper.parse and may also create type confusion. Successful exploitation
 can affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the client process. This issue is fixed in
 version 5.33.0. (CVE-2026-63337)

Solution

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