CVE-2026-67415

MediumCVSS 5.9
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Shovel parameter parser in RabbitMQ converts attacker-controlled runtime parameter values into non-garbage-collected Erlang atoms before bounding them or checking a fixed allowlist. An attacker can exhaust the node-wide atom table and deny service, and malicious parameters are stored durably and reparsed when workers start.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with network access to the Management HTTP API and appropriate permissions can persistently exhaust RabbitMQ node resources, causing service unavailability even after restart.

Recommendation

Update RabbitMQ to versions 4.2.9 or 4.3.3, which contain the fix for this issue.

Original NVD description (English source)

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. From 4.2.0 until 4.2.9 and 4.3.3, the Shovel parameter parser converted attacker-controlled runtime parameter values into non-garbage-collected Erlang atoms before bounding them or checking a fixed allowlist. Exploitation requires network access to the Management HTTP API, valid credentials with both the management and policymaker tags, permission to set Shovel runtime parameters on a vhost, and the rabbitmq_shovel and rabbitmq_shovel_management plugins to be enabled. The attacker can exhaust the node-wide atom table and deny service, and malicious parameters are stored durably and reparsed when workers start, so atom pressure can recur after restart without a live attacker connection. This issue is fixed in versions 4.2.9 and 4.3.3.
