CVE-2026-77404
Description
A flaw was found in RabbitMQ amqp091-go. The URI.String function in uri.go concatenates TLS asset path values directly into an AMQPS query string without proper encoding. If an application processes a TLS asset path containing special characters like ampersand or equals delimiters, these can be misinterpreted during URI re-parsing. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to overwrite connection options, potentially corrupting the connection configuration or selecting unintended local cryptographic assets, leading to a compromise of the TLS connection.
Statement
This flaw has an Important impact because applications in Red Hat products that use amqp091-go and accept attacker-controlled TLS asset paths can be induced to reparse a crafted AMQPS URI. A local attacker with partial control of a certificate, key, CA, or server-name path or related environment setting can inject query parameters and alter connection configuration, potentially selecting unintended local TLS material or causing connection failures.
Mitigation
Avoid accepting untrusted values for TLS certificate, key, CA, or server-name paths. Restrict write access to directories and environment settings used to configure those paths, and upgrade applications using amqp091-go to version 1.13.0 or later when available.
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).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
