Summary

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to 4.2.5, the RabbitMQ management UI renders the x-internal-purpose queue or exchange argument into an HTML title attribute without proper escaping on the Queues and Exchanges pages, allowing a user with permission to declare a queue or exchange to execute JavaScript in another user's browser.

This issue is fixed in version 4.2.5. This vulnerability allows a user with permissions to declare a queue or exchange to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in another user's browser, leading to a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attack.

Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 5.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). Weakness: CWE-79.

Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Hardened Images. Red Hat lists Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2; Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1; Red Hat OpenStack Platform 18.0 as not affected.

Red Hat fixing advisory: RHSA-2026:35939, RHSA-2026:35940.
