RabbitMQ is a multi-protocol messaging and streaming broker. HTTP API did not enforce an HTTP request body limit, making it vulnerable for denial of service (DoS) attacks with very large messages. An authenticated user with sufficient credentials can publish a very large messages over the HTTP API and cause target node to be terminated by an "out-of-memory killer"-like mechanism. This vulnerability has been patched in versions 3.11.24 and 3.12.7.

The version of rabbitmq-server installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-46118 advisory.

According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Identity Exposure running on the remote host is prior to 3.42.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2023-33 advisory.
Tenable Identity Exposure leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of the third-party components (RabbitMQ, libcurl, and nodeJS) were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers. Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Tenable Identity Exposure 3.42.17 updates RabbitMQ to version 3.12.6, libcurl to version 8.4.0 and nodeJS to version 18.18.0 to address the identified vulnerabilities.
