Network MITM requires interception positioning (AC:H, PR:N); scope change captures impact on the AMQP communication channel; integrity is partial since message injection is possible but confidentiality is the primary impact.

ecosystem impact- 4 maven packages depend on com.rabbitmq:amqp-client (3 direct, 1 indirect)
Ecosystem-wide dependent count for version 5.33.0.
DescriptionCVE.org
The RabbitMQ Java client library allows Java and JVM-based applications to connect to and interact with RabbitMQ nodes. Prior to 5.33.0, com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory.useSslProtocol() and ConnectionFactory.useSslProtocol(String) configure com.rabbitmq.client.TrustEverythingTrustManager and leave hostname verification disabled, causing arbitrary server certificates, including self-signed certificates, to be accepted. A network attacker able to intercept a TLS connection can impersonate the RabbitMQ broker, read protected AMQP traffic, and modify traffic without certificate or hostname validation. The fix changes the production TLS helpers to use the JVM default trust store and enables hostname verification, while retaining an explicitly named development-only no-verification helper. This issue is fixed in version 5.33.0.
AnalysisAI
TLS certificate validation is completely bypassed in the RabbitMQ Java client library (com.rabbitmq:amqp-client) prior to version 5.33.0 when applications call ConnectionFactory.useSslProtocol() or useSslProtocol(String), because these methods silently install TrustEverythingTrustManager and leave hostname verification disabled. A network-positioned attacker can present any certificate - including self-signed or null-chain - to impersonate the RabbitMQ broker and decrypt or modify all AMQP traffic, including plaintext credentials transmitted via PLAIN SASL on default port 5672. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two concurrent conditions: first, the target Java application must call `ConnectionFactory.useSslProtocol()` or `ConnectionFactory.useSslProtocol(String)` without subsequently invoking `enableHostnameVerification()` - this is the default and documented usage pattern in all versions prior to 5.33.0; second, the attacker must achieve a network-level MITM position between the Java client and the RabbitMQ broker via ARP spoofing, DNS manipulation, BGP hijack, or rogue network infrastructure. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 is significantly moderated by the AT:P prerequisite (attacker must achieve network interception positioning), but the SC:H rating accurately captures the real-world impact: all AMQP traffic, including authentication credentials, is exposed to the adversary. … 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 5.33.0 or later, confirmed fixed via https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-java-client/releases/tag/v5.33.0 and corresponding commits https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-java-client/commit/1e7deb2e6020c9793a81385a53ea378ec63b9339 and https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-java-client/commit/a4bf571dd368765baaa9cecfae68ce09f1bdcc01. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
