CVE-2026-67239: RabbitMQ stored XSS in stream-management UI via TLS peer-certificate DN

CVE-2026-67239 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-25

RabbitMQ is a messaging broker that administrators manage through a web-based UI. A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability allows an attacker with a trusted TLS certificate to inject malicious scripts into the stream connection management interface by crafting a certificate with a specially-formatted name. When an operator views the affected interface, the attacker's script executes in their browser, potentially allowing account takeover or session hijacking.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a stored XSS in the stream-management UI where peer certificate subject and issuer DNs are rendered without proper HTML escaping (using raw <% %> instead of safe fmtstring()). RFC4514 backslash-escaping bypasses basic filters; an attacker can inject payloads like <img //>. Exploitation requires non-default configuration: a TLS stream listener with peer verification enabled, and an attacker-obtained certificate signed by a CA the listener trusts. The attack triggers when an operator views the stream connection detail page.
