Summary

In RabbitMQ prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.1, the /federation-links/.../restart route uses is_authorized_monitor which accepts the monitoring tag, and DELETE triggers a federation link restart without an elevated permission check. A monitoring-tagged user can restart any federation link.

Risk Assessment

This state-changing operation can disrupt message flow in the cluster, causing application outages. Requires the rabbitmq_federation and rabbitmq_federation_management plugins enabled and credentials with the monitoring tag.

Recommendation

Upgrade RabbitMQ to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, or 4.3.1. Restrict the monitoring tag to trusted accounts only and consider disabling federation plugins if not needed.

Prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.1, is_authorized/2 for the /federation-links/.../restart route uses is_authorized_monitor (accepts the monitoring tag), while allowed_methods permits DELETE and delete_resource/2 triggers rabbit_federation_link_sup:restart. There is no per-method elevation check and no comment marking it intentional. A read-only monitoring user can restart any federation link , a state-changing operation that disrupts message flow. Preconditions include rabbitmq_federation + rabbitmq_federation_management plugins enabled Attacker has credentials with the monitoring tag. This issue is fixed in versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.1.
