Fixed In Version: rabbitmq-server-3.5.1-1.fc22
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
A cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in RabbitMQ, which allowed using api/ path info to inject and receive data. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create an "/api/..." URL, forcing a server error that resulted in the server returning an HTML page with embedded text from the URL (not escaped).

Description Kurt Seifried 2015-01-24 05:14:10 UTC 
26437 prevent /api/* from returning text/html error messages which could act as an XSS vector (since 2.1.0) 

Bug 26437 allowed an attacker to create a URL to "/api/..." which would 
provoke an internal server error, resulting in the server returning an 
html page with text from the URL embedded and not escaped. This was 
fixed by ensuring all URLs below /api/ only ever return responses with a 
content type of application/json, even in the case of an internal server 
error.

Comment 1 Kurt Seifried 2015-01-24 05:16:24 UTC 
Created rabbitmq-server tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1185516]
Affects: epel-all [bug 1185517]
Comment 2 Peter Lemenkov 2015-10-23 21:17:49 UTC 
Both this and corresponding bug 1185515 were addressed in RabbitMQ 3.4.1. We already ship ver. 3.5.x, so this issue is already fixed in Fedora 22+.

As for Fedora 21 users, we strongly advise users to upgrade to F22 or to the upcoming F23.
Comment 3 Peter Lemenkov 2015-10-23 21:23:01 UTC 
Reopening - unfortunately it still not fixed for EPEL7.
Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2015-11-21 14:25:30 UTC 
rabbitmq-server-3.3.5-12.el7 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
