AI-suggested
Users should monitor the official RabbitMQ advisory for clarification and apply updates to the fixed versions once confirmed. Until then, review and restrict the use of user_dn_pattern containing ${username} in the rabbitmq_auth_backend_ldap plugin and ensure strong password policies are enforced. No vendor advisory states that no action is required or that the issue is already mitigated.
Description
CVE-2026-67223 is an LDAP Injection vulnerability in rabbitmq-server affecting multiple maintenance lines from 3.13 through 4.3. It arises from improper escaping of the ${username} variable in the user_dn_pattern configuration, allowing crafted usernames to alter LDAP bind DNs. Exploitation requires the rabbitmq_auth_backend_ldap plugin, a vulnerable user_dn_pattern, a directory layout that resolves the injected suffix usefully, and a valid password for the resulting DN. Fixed versions are identified but conflicting between advisory text and metadata, so exact fixed versions are not fully confirmed. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.3.
