AI-suggested

Upgrade rabbitmq-server to version 4.2.9 or later in the 4.2.x series, or 4.3.3 or later in the 4.3.x series, where this vulnerability is fixed. Ensure that access to the Management HTTP API is restricted and that credentials with management and policymaker tags are tightly controlled. Verify that the rabbitmq_shovel and rabbitmq_shovel_management plugins are enabled only if necessary and monitor their usage accordingly.

Description

CVE-2026-67415 is a medium severity vulnerability in rabbitmq-server versions 4.2.0 through 4.2.8 and 4.3.0 through 4.3.2. It involves uncontrolled resource consumption due to the Shovel parameter parser converting attacker-controlled runtime parameters into non-garbage-collected Erlang atoms without proper bounds or allowlist checks. Exploitation requires network access to the Management HTTP API, valid credentials with management and policymaker tags, permission to set Shovel runtime parameters, and enabled shovel plugins. Successful exploitation can exhaust the node-wide atom table, causing denial of service. The issue is fixed in versions 4.2.9 and 4.3.3.
