CVE-2026-44393
OpenStack Oslo.messaging RabbitMQ TLS Man-in-the-Middle Vulnerability
Description
An issue was discovered in OpenStack oslo.messaging 1.0.0 through 17.3.0. The oslo.messaging RabbitMQ driver does not perform TLS hostname verification when connecting to the message broker. When ssl_ca_file is configured, the driver enables certificate chain validation but does not pass the expected broker hostname into the underlying TLS stack. Any certificate signed by the deployment CA is accepted regardless of hostname, allowing an attacker who can intercept control-plane traffic to impersonate the RabbitMQ broker and perform a man-in-the-middle attack on RPC and notification traffic. All OpenStack services using oslo.messaging with RabbitMQ over TLS are affected.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: oslo.messaging de OpenStack, Description: Se descubrió un problema en OpenStack oslo.messaging desde la versión 1.0.0 hasta la 17.3.0. El controlador de RabbitMQ de oslo.messaging no realiza la verificación del nombre de host TLS al conectarse al broker de mensajes. Cuando se configura ssl_ca_file, el controlador habilita la validación de la cadena de certificados, pero no pasa el nombre de host esperado del broker a la pila TLS subyacente. Cualquier certificado firmado por la CA de despliegue es aceptado independientemente del nombre de host, permitiendo a un atacante que puede interceptar el tráfico del plano de control suplantar al broker de RabbitMQ y realizar un ataque man-in-the-middle en el tráfico RPC y de notificaciones. Todos los servicios de OpenStack que utilizan oslo.messaging con RabbitMQ sobre TLS se ven afectados. -
