Summary

A vulnerability in RabbitMQ topic authorization can allow unauthorized topic writes and binds during metadata-store failures. This occurs because topic-permission lookup errors from Khepri collapse to undefined, which the internal backend treats as allow.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of unauthorized access to topics, potentially leading to message integrity and confidentiality breaches, as well as data leakage.

Recommendation

Update RabbitMQ to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.21, 4.1.11, or 4.2.6 immediately, depending on the branch in use. The update fixes the vulnerability by properly handling permission lookup errors.
