CVE-2022-31008 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.5) affecting rabbitmq server, rabbitmq. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

RabbitMQ is a multi-protocol messaging and streaming broker. In affected versions the shovel and federation plugins perform URI obfuscation in their worker (link) state. The encryption key used to encrypt the URI was seeded with a predictable secret. This means that in case of certain exceptions related to Shovel and Federation plugins, reasonably easily deobfuscatable data could appear in the node log. Patched versions correctly use a cluster-wi

broadcom rabbitmq server UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.9.0 and < 3.9.18 · >= 3.10.0 and < 3.10.2

Fixed in: 3.9.18, 3.10.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.9.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy rabbitmq-server || rpm -q rabbitmq-server || rabbitmq-server --version

2. UPGRADE to 3.9.18 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade rabbitmq-server

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade rabbitmq-server

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.9.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison rabbitmq-server sudo apt install rabbitmq-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.9.0> sudo apt-mark hold rabbitmq-server

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list rabbitmq-server sudo dnf downgrade rabbitmq-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.9.0> sudo dnf versionlock add rabbitmq-server

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
