CVE-2026-67226

MediumCVSS 6.9
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

RabbitMQ versions from 4.0.0 until 4.0.22, 4.1.14, and 4.2.7 are vulnerable to admin-only atom exhaustion. The settags/2 function calls toatom/1 on the user's tags list, and the 20 MB body limit allows approximately 3-4 million short tags. An administrator can crash the node with a single request.

Risk Assessment

An administrator can accidentally or intentionally crash a RabbitMQ node by creating a user or importing definitions with approximately one million unique tags. This can cause unavailability of the broker.

Recommendation

Update RabbitMQ to version 4.0.22, 4.1.14, or 4.2.7, which contain the fix. Avoid processing untrusted user definitions with a large number of tags.
