Vulnerability in github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go (CVE-2026-77407)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go (CVE-2026-77407). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via Connection.Config.SASL. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.13.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the AMQP client implementation's authentication handling configuration. Following a successful connection handshake, the Connection.Config.SASL field stores the Authentication implementation state used to establish the session.
For standard PLAIN authentication, this state utilizes the PlainAuth struct, which defines both Username and Password as publicly exported, plaintext string fields. Because this sensitive data is retained permanently in-memory within an exported field structure, any peripheral code, internal package, reflective logger, dependency, or automated debugging utility with access to the core *Connection object can read and expose the raw credentials.
Vulnerability Details
Mechanism
The vulnerability stems from the structural design of the configuration storage used during and after the AMQP handshake:
// auth.go:21-23
type PlainAuth struct {
Username string
Password string // exported plaintext
}
When an application initializes a connection, the PlainAuth object is deeply nested inside the configuration structure (Connection.Config). Even after the handshake concludes and authentication is complete, this structure persists natively in-memory for the duration of the network connection's lifecycle.
Because Password is an exported string field, standard automated inspection mechanisms can read its value without restriction.
