CVE-2023-24448
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA missing permission check in Jenkins RabbitMQ Consumer Plugin 2.8 and earlier allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified AMQP(S) URL using attacker-specified username and password.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe RabbitMQ Consumer Plugin for Jenkins versions 2.8 and earlier lacks proper permission checks on endpoints that configure AMQP connections. Attackers with minimal Overall/Read permission can specify arbitrary AMQP(S) URLs and credentials, potentially exposing stored credentials, enabling credential theft, or using the Jenkins instance as a relay to attack internal AMQP brokers.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify RabbitMQ Consumer plugin versionNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and locate 'RabbitMQ Consumer' in the list. Note the installed version number.Affected if Version is 2.8 or earlier (e.g., 2.8, 2.7, 2.6, etc.)
-
Confirm AMQP connection configuration existsNavigate to Manage Jenkins > System > look for 'RabbitMQ Consumer' or 'AMQP' configuration section. Check if any AMQP broker URLs are configured under the RabbitMQ settings.Affected if AMQP connection endpoints are configured, making the vulnerable endpoints accessible
-
Verify plugin is loaded and activeCheck the Jenkins logs on startup for 'RabbitMQ Consumer' initialization messages, or inspect the plugin directory $JENKINS_HOME/plugins/rabbitmq-consumer/ for the presence of the plugin hpi file.Affected if The plugin hpi file exists and Jenkins has loaded it as an active plugin
-
Review user permission assignmentsNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Users or check $JENKINS_HOME/users/ directory. Identify users or groups that possess Overall/Read permission, which is granted by default to authenticated users.Affected if Any user account has Overall/Read permission, allowing access to the vulnerable endpoints
A user is affected if they have RabbitMQ Consumer plugin version 2.8 or earlier installed, the plugin has AMQP connections configured, and any user with Overall/Read permission exists in the system.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to RabbitMQ Consumer Plugin version 2.9 or later which implements proper permission checks. If upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict Overall/Read permission assignments and monitor for suspicious AMQP connection configurations.
RabbitMQ Consumer Plugin version 2.9 or later
- Log in to Jenkins as an administrator
- Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins
- Click on the 'Updates' tab
- Locate the RabbitMQ Consumer plugin in the list
- Select the checkbox next to RabbitMQ Consumer
- Click 'Download now and install after restart'
- Wait for the plugin to download and install
- Restart Jenkins to complete the installation
