AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in RabbitMQ's MQTT topic permission handling allows a low-privileged authenticated user to broaden read and write access to topics when an operator-defined permission template embeds the {clientid} variable inside a regex character class. The flaw is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-44838, where the escaperegexchar/1 function fails to escape the hyphen, enabling a malicious clientid to alter the character class and bypass intended topic authorization. …
