RabbitMQ vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
RabbitMQ versions prior to 4.0.3 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the management UI. When a virtual host on a RabbitMQ node fails to start, the management UI displays an error message containing the virtual host name, which was not properly escaped prior to open source RabbitMQ 4.0.3 and Tanzu RabbitMQ 4.0.3, 3.13.8. This vulnerability was discovered and responsibly disclosed by a security research team at Best of the Best (GitHub Advisory).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from improper sanitization of virtual host names in error messages displayed by the management UI. An attacker could exploit this by first causing a virtual host to fail to start, and then creating a new virtual host name containing malicious JavaScript code or modifying an existing virtual host name on disk. This could lead to arbitrary JavaScript code execution in the management UI within users' browsers. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.1 (Medium) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L (GitHub Advisory).
Impact
A successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the browsers of management UI users. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or perform actions on behalf of the affected users (GitHub Advisory).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been patched in open source RabbitMQ version 4.0.3 and Tanzu RabbitMQ versions 4.0.3 and 3.13.8. Users are advised to upgrade to these versions. For users unable to upgrade immediately, a recommended workaround is to disable the management plugin and use alternative monitoring solutions such as Prometheus and Grafana (GitHub Advisory).
Community reactions
The vulnerability was researched and responsibly disclosed by a team at Best of the Best, including Dain Lee, Eojin Lee, WooJin Park, MinJung Lee, and SeChang Oh. The vendor has acknowledged their contribution in identifying and reporting this security issue (GitHub Advisory).
