UBUNTU-CVE-2017-4966 (CVE-2017-4966)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2017-06-13 06:29 – Updated: 2025-07-18 16:43 – Source website

Details

An issue was discovered in these Pivotal RabbitMQ versions: all 3.4.x versions, all 3.5.x versions, and 3.6.x versions prior to 3.6.9; and these RabbitMQ for PCF versions: all 1.5.x versions, 1.6.x versions prior to 1.6.18, and 1.7.x versions prior to 1.7.15. RabbitMQ management UI stores signed-in user credentials in a browser's local storage without expiration, making it possible to retrieve them using a chained attack.
