  - RabbitMQ AMQP 0-9-1 allows an existing consumer to keep receiving messages after OAuth token expiry or
    connection.update_secret refresh to reduced scopes because existing consumers are not canceled or reauthorized at
    delivery time after the channel user state changes. (CVE-2026-57218)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
