Vulnerability in github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go (CVE-2026-77408)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go (CVE-2026-77408). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via shortstr. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.13.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
A data integrity and protocol corruption vulnerability exists in the AMQP client's property serialization logic. When encoding AMQP short string (shortstr) fields—such as identifiers, routing strings, and content metadata—the length of the string is explicitly cast to a fixed-size 8-bit unsigned integer (uint8).
If an application provides a property string exceeding 255 bytes, the length counter silently wraps around (e.g., a length of 300 wraps to 44). As a result, the parser writes only a truncated portion of the string into the outgoing connection buffer without returning an error. This leads to silent data corruption, broken RPC routing, and unpredictable broker-side state behavior.
Vulnerability Details
Mechanism
The vulnerability resides in the wire-level serialization logic for application publishing properties:
// write.go:246
length := uint8(len(b)) // wraps silently when len(b) > 255 (e.g., 300 -> 44)
Because Go allows silent integer truncation during explicit type casting, lengths larger than $2^8 - 1$ lose their most significant bits. The underlying stream writer reads length to determine how many bytes to pull from the buffer. Because no error or boundary check accompanies this truncation, the application believes the full payload was transmitted successfully.
Affected Properties
This truncation behavior affects every standard AMQP field serialized as a shortstr:
