Pivotal RabbitMQ 3.8.x < 3.8.16 Code Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 198217

Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote web server is affected by arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

RabbitMQ installers on Windows prior to version 3.8.16 do not harden plugin directory permissions, potentially allowing attackers with sufficient local filesystem permissions to add arbitrary plugins.

A malicious actor can execute arbitrary code on the running RabbitMQ server by adding arbitrary plugins.

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 3.8.16 or later.
