CVE-2026-67234

LowCVSS 2.3
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

RabbitMQ versions 4.2.0 to 4.2.8 and 4.3.2 contain a vulnerability in get_auth_mechanism/1, which uses term_to_binary/1 on the strict_auth_mechanism or preferred_auth_mechanism atom when clearing the corresponding cookie. This produces a non-ASCII cookie name that violates RFC 6265 and can prevent the browser from deleting the preference. The issue is not directly exploitable for code execution but affects the persistence of preferences across logout and login cycles.

Risk Assessment

The risk is limited to stale authentication-mechanism preferences persisting across sessions, potentially affecting the security of the login process.

Recommendation

Update RabbitMQ to version 4.2.8 or 4.3.2 where the issue is fixed.

Original NVD description (English source)

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. From 4.2.0 until 4.2.8 and 4.3.2, get_auth_mechanism/1 used term_to_binary/1 on the strict_auth_mechanism or preferred_auth_mechanism atom when clearing the corresponding cookie, producing a non-ASCII cookie name that violates RFC 6265 and can prevent the browser from deleting the preference. The issue is not directly exploitable for code execution or data exfiltration; its security relevance is limited to stale authentication-mechanism preferences persisting across logout and login cycles. This issue is fixed in versions 4.2.8 and 4.3.2.
