DescriptionCVE.org

RabbitMQ amqp091-go is a Go AMQP 0.9.1 client. Prior to 1.13.0, Channel.Qos in channel.go accepts negative prefetchCount and prefetchSize integers and casts them directly to uint16 and uint32 fields in the basic.qos method because validateQos is absent. Values such as -1 therefore wrap to 65535 or 4294967295 instead of being rejected. An application that permits untrusted configuration of these Qos values can unintentionally request extremely large prefetch limits, allowing a broker to deliver enough queued messages to exhaust client memory and disrupt processing. This issue is fixed in version 1.13.0.

AnalysisAI

Memory exhaustion in the RabbitMQ amqp091-go Go AMQP 0.9.1 client library prior to 1.13.0 lets unauthenticated remote attackers who can influence an application's Qos settings make the client request an absurdly large prefetch limit and then buffer enough broker-delivered messages to exhaust host memory. Channel.Qos performs no bounds validation, so a negative prefetchCount or prefetchSize is cast straight into the uint16/uint32 fields of the basic.qos method and wraps to 65535 or 4294967295 instead of being rejected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an application built on amqp091-go prior to 1.13.0 that permits untrusted or externally-controlled configuration of the Channel.Qos prefetchCount/prefetchSize integers and forwards a negative value into that call; the library's missing validateQos then wraps it to an extremely large unsigned prefetch. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 4.0 score of 8.2 (High) is availability-only (VC:N/VI:N/VA:H, SA:L) and materially gated by AT:P - an explicit attack requirement that the embedding application must permit untrusted control of the Qos prefetchCount/prefetchSize values. … 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 Vendor-released patch: 1.13.0. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, generate a software bill of materials across all Go services to locate every instance of github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go and trace whether Channel.Qos prefetchCount or prefetchSize values can be influenced by untrusted input (tenant-supplied configuration, plugin parameters, admin APIs, or environment variables); where such a path exists, immediately clamp prefetch values to non-negative bounded integers at the call site and treat this as an emergency change. …
