CVE-2026-67405: RabbitMQ missing Origin header validation in WebSocket upgrade

CVE-2026-67405 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-23

RabbitMQ is a messaging broker used to handle critical business communications. The Web-MQTT and Web-STOMP plugins failed to validate the Origin header during WebSocket upgrades, allowing attackers to perform cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. When client certificate authentication is enabled, JavaScript code injected by an attacker could trigger automatic certificate presentation, enabling account takeover or unauthorized message access.

Technologies: VMware RabbitMQ. Vendors: VMware.

Technical details

The Web-MQTT and Web-STOMP handlers did not validate the WebSocket Origin header, enabling CSRF attacks where attacker-controlled JavaScript in the victim's browser initiates WebSocket connections. When ssl_cert_login=true or use_http_auth=true (Web-STOMP only) is configured, the browser automatically presents client certificates, allowing an attacker to authenticate as the victim. The vulnerability requires non-default configuration and is harmless under default in-band CONNECT credential configuration. Origin header validation is now configurable via web_mqtt.allow_origins and web_stomp.allow_origins.
