Pivotal RabbitMQ < 3.3.4 Security Bypass Vulnerability

medium Nessus Plugin ID 144631

Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote web server is affected by security bypass vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the version of Pivotal RabbitMQ running on the remote web server is prior to 3.3.4. It is, therefore, affected by security bypass vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could bypass security restrictions, caused by the improper handling of malicious headers when determining the remote address. By sending a specially-crafted X-Forwarded-For header, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to connect to the broker as if they were a localhost user.

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 Pivotal RabbitMQ version 3.3.4 or later.
