CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe RabbitMQ amqp091-go client prior to version 1.13.0 retains plaintext passwords in exported fields after a successful PLAIN authentication, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive credentials through logging or debugging tools. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to applications using this client, as it can lead to credential exposure and potential unauthorized access. Organizations utilizing this client should prioritize upgrading to version 1.13.0 or later to mitigate the risk of credential leakage.

Original NVD Description
RabbitMQ amqp091-go is a Go AMQP 0.9.1 client. Prior to 1.13.0, PlainAuth values defined in auth.go retain passwords as exported plaintext fields in Connection.Config.SASL after a successful PLAIN authentication handshake. The Connection.openComplete method in connection.go does not clear those values. Code with access to the Connection object, including reflective loggers, application performance monitoring agents, debugging utilities, and panic handlers, can traverse the configuration and expose the credentials to logs or state captures. The credential remains available for the lifetime of the connection instead of being cleared after authentication. This issue is fixed in version 1.13.0.
