Ecosystem-wide dependent count for version 5.31.0.

DescriptionCVE.org

The RabbitMQ Java client library allows Java and JVM-based applications to connect to and interact with RabbitMQ nodes. Prior to 5.31.0, inbound AMQP command assembly in src/main/java/com/rabbitmq/client/impl/CommandAssembler.java processes a content-bearing method and header whose remainingBodyBytes value is smaller than a following AMQP.FRAME_BODY payload. CommandAssembler.consumeBodyFrame subtracts the peer-controlled payload length before validating that it fits, drives remainingBodyBytes negative, and throws a raw UnsupportedOperationException instead of MalformedFrameException. A malicious or compromised broker peer can send this malformed sequence on an open nonzero channel to terminate frame processing and close the client connection, causing denial of service for work using that connection. This issue is fixed in version 5.31.0.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in the RabbitMQ Java client library (com.rabbitmq:amqp-client ≤ 5.30.0) allows a malicious or compromised AMQP broker to forcibly terminate any active client connection by sending a crafted malformed frame sequence. The flaw in CommandAssembler.consumeBodyFrame subtracts a peer-controlled body-frame payload length before validating it fits within the declared body size, driving remainingBodyBytes negative and triggering an unhandled UnsupportedOperationException - a legacy stub - rather than a proper MalformedFrameException, causing AMQConnection to perform a hard connection shutdown. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the RabbitMQ Java client to have an open, active AMQP connection to a broker that the attacker controls or has compromised - the malformed frame must originate from the broker side of the connection, not from the Java application or an arbitrary third party. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:H correctly frames the impact: the vulnerable system (the library itself) suffers no direct confidentiality or integrity loss, but the subsequent system - the Java application relying on the connection - loses high availability when its connection is forcibly torn down. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade com.rabbitmq:amqp-client to version 5.31.0 or later, which introduces a pre-subtraction bounds check in consumeBodyFrame that throws a proper MalformedFrameException when a body frame payload exceeds the remaining declared body size, preventing the UnsupportedOperationException from propagating. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
