Descriptions

Pivotal RabbitMQ for PCF, all versions, uses a deterministically generated cookie that is shared between all machines when configured in a multi-tenant cluster. A remote attacker who can gain information about the network topology can guess this cookie and, if they have access to the right ports on any server in the MQ cluster can use this cookie to gain full control over the entire cluster.

Pivotal RabbitMQ para PCF, en todas las versiones, emplea una cookie generada de forma determinística compartida entre todas las máquinas cuando se configura en un clúster multiinquilino. Un atacante remoto que pueda obtener información sobre la topología de la red puede adivinar esta cookie y, si tienen acceso a los puertos correctos en cualquier servidor del clúster MQ, puede emplear esta cookie para obtener el control total del clúster completo.
