FreeBSD : rabbitmq -- Security issues in management plugin (8469d41c-a960-11e4-b18e-bcaec55be5e5)

low Nessus Plugin ID 81117

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The RabbitMQ project reports :

Some user-controllable content was not properly HTML-escaped before being presented to a user in the management web UI :

- When a user unqueued a message from the management UI, message details (header names, arguments, etc.) were displayed unescaped. An attacker could publish a specially crafted message to add content or execute arbitrary JavaScript code on behalf of a user, if this user unqueued the message from the management UI.

- When viewing policies, their name was displayed unescaped. An attacker could create a policy with a specially crafted name to add content or execute arbitrary JavaScript code on behalf of a user who is viewing policies.

- When listing connected AMQP network clients, client details such as its version were displayed unescaped. An attacker could use a client with a specially crafted version field to add content or execute arbitrary JavaScript code on behalf of a user who is viewing connected clients.

In all cases, the attacker needs a valid user account on the targeted RabbitMQ cluster.

Furthermore, some admin-controllable content was not properly escaped :

- user names;

- the cluster name.

Likewise, an attacker could add content or execute arbitrary JavaScript code on behalf of a user using the management web UI.
However, the attacker must be an administrator on the RabbitMQ cluster, thus a trusted user.

Solution

Update the affected package.
