Pivotal RabbitMQ 3.7.x < 3.7.20 / 3.8.x < 3.8.1 Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 144628

Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote web server is affected by cross site scripting vulnerability.

Description

Pivotal RabbitMQ, 3.7 versions prior to 3.7.20 and 3.8 version prior to 3.8.1, contain two endpoints, federation and shovel, which do not properly sanitize user input. An authenticated, remote attacker with administrative access could craft a cross site scripting attack via the vhost or node name fields that could grant access to virtual hosts and policy management information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Pivotal RabbitMQ version 3.7.20 / 3.8.1 or later.
