20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-4966 describes a vulnerability in the RabbitMQ management UI, affecting various versions of Pivotal RabbitMQ and RabbitMQ for PCF. The flaw involves the storage of signed-in user credentials in a browser's local storage without an expiration, making them susceptible to retrieval via chained attacks. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.8) has a local attack vector, low attack complexity, and can lead to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
