Description
RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. From 3.13.0 until 3.13.19, 4.0.24, 4.1.15, 4.2.10, and 4.3.5, RabbitMQ Management rendered an AMQP authorization-error reason containing an attacker-controlled queue name as HTML when the OAuth management UI was enabled. Exploitation requires an attacker with queue configure permission, a management administrator who can see but cannot read that queue, and the administrator clicking Get Message(s). A queue name containing a base element can then retarget the automatic relative refresh because the Content Security Policy omits base-uri and connect-src, and an attacker endpoint that permits the management origin through CORS can receive the victim's Authorization header. This issue is fixed in versions 3.13.19, 4.0.24, 4.1.15, 4.2.10, and 4.3.5.

Impact

RabbitMQ Management displays an AMQP authorization‑error reason that contains an attacker‑controlled queue name rendered as raw HTML when the OAuth management UI is enabled. The injected queue name can include a base element that rewrites the automatic relative refresh, bypassing the Content Security Policy that omits base‑uri and connect‑src directives. An attacker hosting an endpoint that accepts Cross‑Origin Resource Sharing requests from the management origin can receive the victim’s Authorization header. Consequently, an attacker can obtain privileged credentials and use them to gain unauthorized access to the RabbitMQ system, a weakness identified as CWE‑862.

Affected Systems

Versions from 3.13.0 through 3.13.18, and the specific vulnerable releases 3.13.0‑3.13.19, 4.0.24, 4.1.15, 4.2.10, and 4.3.5 are affected. Updating to version 3.13.19, 4.0.24, 4.1.15, 4.2.10, 4.3.5 or any newer release resolves the issue.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.5 indicates moderate severity, and no EPSS score is available. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker with queue configure permission, an administrator who can view but not read the queue, and the administrator clicking the Get Message(s) button. The attack is therefore possible in environments with highly privileged roles and a specific interaction pattern, making the likelihood of real‑world exploitation limited but not negligible.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade RabbitMQ to version 3.13.19, 4.0.24, 4.1.15, 4.2.10, 4.3.5 or later to apply the vendor fix.
  • Disable or restrict the OAuth management UI if it is not required for operation.
  • Limit queue configure permissions and consider removing or restricting the Get Message(s) feature for non‑administrator roles to reduce the attack surface.
