RabbitMQ has predictable credential obfuscation seed value used in Shovel and Federation plugins
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for rabbit_common, rabbit_common, rabbit_common. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.
01 / Meaning
Why it matters
Published affected context helps an owner decide what evidence to gather. This report has not examined your application.
5.5 medium
GitHub source severity; exploitability and local consequence require separate evidence.

02 / Applicability
The affected context
Affected versions, configuration prerequisites and known exclusions are public. Confirm each one against the deployed service.
rabbit_common
source listed>= 3.10.0, < 3.10.2
### Impact Shovel and Federation plugins perform URI obfuscation in their worker (link) state. The encryption key used to encrypt the URI was seeded with a predictable secret. This means that in case of certain exceptions related to Shovel and Federation plugins, reasonably easily deobfuscatable data could appear in the node log. Patched versions correctly use a cluster-wide secret for that purpose. ### Patches Patched versions: * `3.10.2` * `3.9.18` * `3.8.32` ### Workarounds Disable Shovel and Federation plugins. ### Credits RabbitMQ core team would like to thank Lajos @luos Gerecs and Anh Nguyen from Erlang Solutions for responsibly disclosing and working with us on a patch for this vulnerability. ### For more information * Mailing list * Community Slack

03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
