CVE-2026-67407
Description
A flaw was found in rabbitmq-server. Due to improper regular expression character escaping, topic permission templates for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) clients fail to sanitize hyphen characters. An authenticated, low-privileged attacker controlling their client identifier can exploit this flaw to alter permission evaluation rules. This issue allows the attacker to bypass authorization controls and gain unauthorized read and write access to restricted messaging topics.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
