Doc Text:
A flaw was found in rabbitmq-server. RabbitMQ encode authorization headers in plaintext and log them when queried via HTTP/s with basic authentication. This results in sensitive information, including authentication credentials, being stored in log files. A malicious actor can potentially retrieve these credentials by accessing the RabbitMQ logs. This exposure can lead to unauthorized access to the RabbitMQ system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-06-19 17:01:09 UTC 
RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. In versions 3.13.7 and prior, RabbitMQ is logging authorization headers in plaintext encoded in base64. When querying RabbitMQ api with HTTP/s with basic authentication it creates logs with all headers in request, including authorization headers which show base64 encoded username:password. This is easy to decode and afterwards could be used to obtain control to the system depending on credentials. This issue has been patched in version 4.0.8.
