CVE-2026-67229

MediumCVSS 6.9
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

RabbitMQ prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0 calls rabbit_data_coercion:atomize_keys/1 (the unsafe binary_to_atom variant) on the vhost metadata map. An administrator importing a crafted definitions file can exhaust the atom table and crash the node in a single request.

Risk Assessment

An administrator (or attacker with admin privileges) can crash a RabbitMQ node, causing denial of service for the entire cluster.

Recommendation

Upgrade RabbitMQ to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, or 4.3.0. Restrict definitions import to trusted administrators and validate definitions files before import.

Original NVD description (English source)

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0, add_vhost/2 calls rabbit_data_coercion:atomize_keys/1 (the unsafe variant using binary_to_atom) on the vhost metadata map. The 20 MB management body limit fits ~1M+ short keys. Admin-only. An administrator importing a crafted definitions file can crash the node in a single request: a vhosts entry with ~1M unique metadata keys exhausts the atom table during import. Preconditions include administrator tag. This issue is fixed in versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0.
