RabbitMQ 3.12.x < 3.12.11 Queue Deletion Authorization Bypass

medium Nessus Plugin ID 234569

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of RabbitMQ installed on the remote host is 3.12.x prior to 3.2.11. It is, therefore, affected by an authorization bypass vulnerability:

- RabbitMQ is a feature rich, multi-protocol messaging and streaming broker. In affected versions queue deletion via the HTTP API was not verifying the `configure` permission of the user. Users who had all of the following: 1.
Valid credentials, 2. Some permissions for the target virtual host & 3. HTTP API access. could delete queues it had no (deletion) permissions for. (CVE-2024-51988)

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 3.12.11 or later.
