RabbitMQ 3.13.x < 3.13.15 / 4.0.x < 4.0.20 / 4.1.x < 4.1.11 / 4.2.x < 4.2.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 327581

Synopsis

The RabbitMQ installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of RabbitMQ installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- AMQP 0-9-1, AMQP 1.0, and Stream Protocol authentication can allow a loopback-restricted user such as guest to connect remotely when traffic is accepted through a trusted PROXY-protocol path and the backend listener is loopback-bound because the loopback check uses the listener-side socket address instead of the real client source.
(CVE-2026-57216)

- The obsolete GET /api/auth endpoint can disclose the OAuth 2 client secret on RabbitMQ installations configured with management.oauth_client_secret, exposing credentials to unauthenticated callers when the management plugin and that OAuth configuration are enabled. (CVE-2026-57219)

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 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, or later.
