Summary

In RabbitMQ, the stream open handler calls only check_vhost_access, omitting the node/vhost/user connection-limit checks that rabbit_reader performs for AMQP. An authenticated tenant can fully bypass operator-configured per-user and per-vhost connection caps by connecting via port 5552 instead of 5672.

Risk Assessment

Bypassing connection limits undermines tenant isolation and can lead to resource exhaustion. Requires the rabbitmq_stream plugin and reliance on connection limits.

Recommendation

Upgrade RabbitMQ to versions 4.2.7 or 4.3.1. Verify that connection limits are enforced for the stream protocol as well.

Original NVD description (English source)

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to versions 4.2.7 and 4.3.1, The stream open handler calls only check_vhost_access; it omits the node/vhost/user connection-limit checks that rabbit_reader performs for AMQP. A developer %% FIXME comment at the cited line explicitly acknowledges the gap. No compensating enforcement exists in connection tracking or elsewhere in rabbitmq_stream. An authenticated tenant can fully bypass operator-configured per-user and per-vhost connection caps by connecting via port 5552 instead of 5672. Preconditions include rabbitmq_stream plugin enabled Authenticated stream-protocol credentials Operator relies on per-user/per-vhost connection limits for tenant isolation. This issue is fixed in versions 4.2.7 and 4.3.1.
