Summary

The max body size was enforced to patch CVE-2023-46120, but even though that limit still works, the frame size itself still exceeds the given max size.

Root cause

The Java client records the AMQP 0-9-1 frame_max negotiated during connection tuning, but the socket inbound frame reader continues to validate broker-controlled payload lengths against the much larger maxInboundMessageBodySize limit. A broker peer can therefore send a method frame whose payload is larger than the negotiated frame_max, have it allocated and decoded, and complete the connection handshake instead of being rejected as a protocol violation.

*Reported by Team Atlanta.*

AnalysisAI

RabbitMQ Java client (amqp-client) versions prior to 5.33.0 fails to enforce the AMQP 0-9-1 negotiated frame_max limit on inbound socket frames, allowing a malicious or compromised broker peer to send method frames exceeding the protocol-negotiated size. The client allocates and fully decodes these oversized frames rather than rejecting them as protocol violations, effectively nullifying the frame-size protection. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an attacker to control the AMQP broker endpoint that the vulnerable Java client connects to - through deployment of a rogue broker, compromise of an existing broker, or a man-in-the-middle position on the AMQP TCP connection (typically port 5672 or 5671 for TLS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is moderate and highly context-dependent. … 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, which enforces the negotiated frame_max as a hard cap on inbound frame payload sizes for both socket and Netty transport handlers. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
