DescriptionCVE.org

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. From 3.13.0 until 4.3.3, 4.2.9, 4.1.14, 4.0.23, and 3.13.18, JWKS Fetch Ignores HTTP Response Status Code - Signing Key Destruction Causes Authentication DoS (CWE-252). the JWKS key fetching mechanism in uaajwt.erl does not validate the HTTP response status code when downloading signing keys from the OAuth2 provider's JWKS endpoint. Non-200 responses (including 4xx and 5xx errors) are processed identically to successful responses. When the JWKS endpoint returns an error response with a valid-JSON body that lacks a keys field, all previously cached signing keys are destroyed, causing a persistent authentication denial of Files: deps/rabbitmqauthbackendoauth2/src/uaajwt.erl, lines 50-63 deps/rabbitmqauthbackendoauth2/src/uaajwks.erl, lines 5-7 deps/rabbitmqauthbackendoauth2/src/rabbitoauth2provider.erl, lines 98-107 Bug 1: HTTP status code ignored (uaajwt.erl:50-63): The Erlang httpc module returns {ok, {{HttpVersion, StatusCode, ReasonPhrase}, Headers, Body}}. The pattern {ok, {, , JwksBody}} matches ANY successful HTTP transaction Persistent authentication DoS: Once keys are destroyed, ALL OAuth2/JWT authentication fails for all users until a new successful JWKS refresh occurs Amplification: A single attacker can deny access to all legitimate OAuth2 users across the entire RabbitMQ. This issue is fixed in versions 4.3.3, 4.2.9, 4.1.14, 4.0.23, and 3.13.18.

AnalysisAI

Authentication denial of service in RabbitMQ affects deployments running the rabbitmq_auth_backend_oauth2 plugin from 3.13.0 through the fixed releases (4.3.3, 4.2.9, 4.1.14, 4.0.23, 3.13.18), where the JWKS signing-key fetch routine in uaajwt.erl fails to check the HTTP response status code and treats any well-formed HTTP transaction as a success, so a single non-200 response with valid JSON that lacks a 'keys' field wipes all cached signing keys and breaks OAuth2/JWT authentication for every user until the next successful refresh. The vulnerability is remotely reachable and unauthenticated (CVSS:4.0 PR:N / independent CVSS:3.1 PR:N), but exploitation depends on attack requirements being met (AT:P) - the attacker must induce or coincide with an error-returning JWKS response - and the resulting impact is a persistent availability outage (VC:N/VI:N/VA:H in the assessed vector, C:N/I:N/A:H in the independent 3.1 assessment), with no data exposure or code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitable only when RabbitMQ (3.13.0 through the fixed releases) is deployed with the rabbitmq_auth_backend_oauth2 plugin configured to fetch signing keys from an OAuth2 provider's JWKS endpoint. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine availability threat but not a top-tier emergency. … 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 Apply the vendor fix by upgrading to RabbitMQ 4.3.3, 4.2.9, 4.1.14, 4.0.23, or 3.13.18 (Vendor-released patch), choosing the release in the maintenance line you already run; review the advisory at https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/security/advisories/GHSA-qw3h-qqm9-jrw8 and the release notes at https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v4.3.3 and https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v4.2.9 before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all RabbitMQ clusters running rabbitmq_auth_backend_oauth2, particularly versions 3.13.0 through the fixed-release thresholds 4.3.3, 4.2.9, 4.1.14, 4.0.23, and 3.13.18, and confirm vendor patch availability because the advisory text references fixed releases while the input patch status indicates no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; enable monitoring for OAuth2/JWT authentication failures and JWKS refresh errors and restrict unnecessary network access to RabbitMQ management and auth endpoints. …
