3DescriptionCVE.org
RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, and 4.2.6, RabbitMQ does not perform authorization checks on passive queue.declare and exchange.declare AMQP 0-9-1 operations, allowing any authenticated user who can connect to a virtual host to enumerate queue and exchange names and read queue message and consumer counts. This issue is fixed in versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, and 4.2.6.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated RabbitMQ users can bypass authorization controls on passive AMQP 0-9-1 declare operations, exposing internal broker topology metadata across all affected release branches (3.13.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x, 4.2.x). The missing authorization check on passive queue.declare and exchange.declare allows any user with vhost connectivity to enumerate queue and exchange names and read live message and consumer counts without requiring elevated permissions. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid RabbitMQ credential with permission to connect to at least one virtual host - the authorization bypass occurs only after this initial authentication gate is cleared. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N) reflects a network-accessible flaw exploitable with only low-privilege authenticated access, requiring no attack complexity or user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker holding any valid RabbitMQ credential - such as a compromised low-privilege service account or a shared application credential - connects to a target virtual host over the standard AMQP 0-9-1 interface and sends a series of passive queue.declare frames for arbitrary or guessed queue names. Because the broker performs no authorization check on these operations, it returns confirmation, message counts, and consumer counts for each existing queue, allowing the attacker to enumerate the full broker topology without triggering permission errors. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade RabbitMQ server to one of the patched releases corresponding to the deployed branch: 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, or 4.2.6. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
