Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, and 4.2.6, RabbitMQ allows foreign bindings to amq.rabbitmq.reply-to destinations because volatile direct-reply-to queues can be accepted at bind and route time but are missing from Khepri-backed deletion checks, leaving persistent route entries after unbind. This issue is fixed in versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, and 4.2.6.
AnalysisAI
Improper authorization in RabbitMQ broker (versions prior to 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, and 4.2.6) allows an authenticated client to create foreign bindings against another connection's volatile amq.rabbitmq.reply-to (direct reply-to) destination, so persistent route entries survive after unbind and can leak RPC reply traffic intended for other clients. The flaw stems from Khepri-backed deletion checks that omit these volatile pseudo-queues, letting stale routes persist. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires valid credentials and has high attack complexity per the vendor CVSS 4.0 vector.
Technical ContextAI
RabbitMQ's amq.rabbitmq.reply-to is a pseudo-destination used for the direct reply-to RPC pattern: it creates ephemeral, volatile queues that live only for the duration of a request/response exchange rather than being declared as durable objects. Khepri is RabbitMQ's Raft-based metadata store (the successor to the Mnesia-based schema database) that tracks queues, exchanges, and bindings. Per CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), the root cause is that these volatile direct-reply-to queues are validated and accepted at bind and route time but are absent from Khepri's deletion/unbind checks, so route entries are not properly torn down and no authorization boundary prevents a foreign connection from binding to another client's reply-to destination. The affected component is the rabbitmq-server messaging broker (cpe:2.3:a:rabbitmq:rabbitmq-server), specifically its binding and routing subsystem when backed by the Khepri metadata store.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to RabbitMQ 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, or 4.2.6 (or later) depending on your branch - these are the exact fixed versions named by the vendor. Follow the advisory GHSA-5cq3-v9jx-p3x3 (https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/security/advisories/GHSA-5cq3-v9jx-p3x3); the fix is delivered via pull requests https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/15935 and https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/15938 and commits 9055500d10ca7629dd2b051c6dc7a4b0bb8f6734 and c84f3c880e0f22b49c01237cf8f86e176eeadc72, with the 4.2.6 release at https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v4.2.6. If immediate patching is not possible, compensating controls include tightening per-vhost and per-user permissions so untrusted clients cannot share a virtual host with sensitive RPC workloads (isolate tenants into separate vhosts), and restricting broker access to trusted application accounts only - the trade-off is operational overhead and potential disruption to clients that legitimately rely on shared vhosts. Avoiding or restricting the direct reply-to (amq.rabbitmq.reply-to) RPC pattern for sensitive traffic reduces exposure but requires application-level changes to the RPC design.
