RabbitMQ < 3.13.8 (GHSA-gh3x-4x42-fvq8)

high Nessus Plugin ID 240739

Synopsis

The RabbitMQ installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. In versions 3.13.7 and prior, RabbitMQ is logging authorization headers in plaintext encoded in base64. When querying RabbitMQ api with HTTP/s with basic authentication it creates logs with all headers in request, including authorization headers which show base64 encoded username:password. This is easy to decode and afterwards could be used to obtain control to the system depending on credentials. This issue has been patched in version 4.0.8.

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 RabbitMQ version 3.13.8 or later.
