CVE-2026-67218

LowCVSS 2.1
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In RabbitMQ prior to versions 4.0.22, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0, the HTTP handler accept_content/2 calls create_super_stream without the required configure permission check on the exchange and partition queues that is present in the stream-protocol path. A user with the management tag and vhost access but no configure permission can create super-streams via the HTTP API.

Risk Assessment

This is a privilege escalation from view-only to creating persistent cluster-wide resources, potentially leading to unauthorized resource consumption and disruption. Requires the rabbitmq_stream_management plugin enabled and the management tag.

Recommendation

Upgrade RabbitMQ to versions 4.0.22, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, or 4.3.0. Review and restrict permissions for users with the management tag and vhost access.

Original NVD description (English source)

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to versions 4.0.22, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0, accept_content/2 at line 56 calls rabbit_stream_manager:create_super_stream/... directly after is_authorized (which only checks the management tag + vhost access via is_authorized_vhost). The stream-protocol equivalent (rabbit_stream_reader.erl create_super_stream handler) calls rabbit_stream_utils:check_super_stream_management_permitted/4 which enforces configure on the exchange and each partition queue. The HTTP handler omits this call entirely. A user with management tag and vhost access , but no configure permission on any resource , can create super-streams (an exchange + N partition stream queues + bindings) via the HTTP API. The native stream-protocol path enforces configure on each resource; the HTTP path does not, creating a privilege escalation from 'can view' to 'can create persistent cluster-wide resources.' Preconditions include rabbitmq_stream_management plugin enabled management tag + vhost access (no resource permissions needed). This issue is fixed in versions 4.0.22, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0.
