Pivotal RabbitMQ < 3.7.18 Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability

medium Nessus Plugin ID 144629

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

According to its self-reported version, the version of Pivotal RabbitMQ running on the remote web server is prior to 3.7.18. It is, therefore, affected by cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in two components, the virtual host limits page, and the federation management UI due to unsanitize user input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by crafting a cross site scripting attack that would gain 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 3.7.18 or later.
