22

CVE-2023-32081 is a medium-severity authentication bypass vulnerability affecting Vert.x STOMP servers versions 3.1.0 through 3.9.16 and 4.0.0 through 4.4.2. An attacker can subscribe to destinations or publish messages without prior authentication, even when an authentication handler is configured, because the server fails to verify an initial CONNECT frame. The CVSS score is 6.5 (Medium) due to its network attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
