Attacker needs a declare-capable account (PR:L) and a victim must load the affected UI page (UI:R); XSS running in the victim's browser context is a scope change (S:C) with limited confidentiality/integrity impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to 4.2.5, the RabbitMQ management UI renders the x-internal-purpose queue or exchange argument into an HTML title attribute without proper escaping on the Queues and Exchanges pages, allowing a user with permission to declare a queue or exchange to execute JavaScript in another user's browser. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.5.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the RabbitMQ management UI (versions prior to 4.2.5) lets a user holding queue/exchange declaration permissions inject JavaScript that executes in another user's browser when they view the Queues or Exchanges pages. The malicious payload is supplied via the x-internal-purpose queue or exchange argument, which is rendered into an HTML title attribute without escaping. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; it is fixed in RabbitMQ 4.2.5.
Technical ContextAI
RabbitMQ is a widely deployed open-source message broker (AMQP/STOMP/MQTT and streaming) whose management plugin exposes a web UI for administering vhosts, queues, exchanges, users and policies. The flaw is a classic CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) stored XSS: an authenticated user can attach an x-internal-purpose argument to a queue or exchange, and the management UI writes that attacker-controlled value directly into an HTML title attribute on the Queues and Exchanges listing pages without proper output encoding. Because the value is persisted in broker metadata and reflected to every operator who later browses those pages, it behaves as stored/persistent XSS rather than reflected. The affected component per CPE is cpe:2.3:a:rabbitmq:rabbitmq-server (the rabbitmq-server management UI), and the escaping defect was corrected in the code changed by PRs #15606 and #15608 and commits b0027b6c and b267a290.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 4.2.5 - upgrade rabbitmq-server to 4.2.5 or later, which corrects the missing output escaping (see advisory GHSA-6jfq-prw2-7rwp and PRs https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/15606 and https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/15608, commits b0027b6c1ae5b869d876e211efe6189ffd92b5c2 and b267a290dd89e42c6e0256f46fc273a8adb7f3ec). Where immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce exposure by tightening which accounts hold configure/declare permissions on vhosts so untrusted users cannot create queues or exchanges (trade-off: may break applications that dynamically declare topology), and restrict access to the management UI to trusted administrators via network controls or a reverse proxy (trade-off: reduces convenience for legitimate operators); operators should also audit existing queues and exchanges for suspicious x-internal-purpose arguments before viewing them in the UI. These are compensating controls only - the definitive remediation is upgrading to 4.2.5.
