Synopsis
The RabbitMQ installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of RabbitMQ installed on the remote host is 3.13.x prior to 3.13.18, or 4.0.x prior to 4.0.23, or 4.1.x prior to 4.1.14, or 4.2.x prior to 4.2.9, or 4.3.x prior to 4.3.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- The JWKS key fetching mechanism in uaa_jwt.erl does not validate the HTTP response status code when downloading signing keys from the OAuth 2 provider's JWKS endpoint. Non-200 responses are processed identically to successful ones, so an error body that lacks a keys field destroys all previously cached signing keys, causing a persistent authentication denial of service for all OAuth 2 and JWT users. (CVE-2026-67409)
- The LDAP authentication backend performs literal string substitution of ${username} into user_dn_pattern without applying RFC 4514 DN escaping. Special characters in the username are not escaped, so a crafted username can shift the bind DN into a different organizational unit and potentially resolve to a different, more privileged directory entry. (CVE-2026-67223)
- The stream management UI renders the TLS peer certificate subject and issuer distinguished names without output escaping, allowing an attacker who can obtain a certificate signed by a CA that the stream TLS listener trusts, with an attacker-chosen DN, to store script that executes when an operator views the stream connection detail page.
(CVE-2026-67239)
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 3.13.18, 4.0.23, 4.1.14, 4.2.9, 4.3.3, or later.See Also
