"The version of RabbitMQ installed on the remote host is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.9, or 4.3.x prior to 4.3.3. It is, therefore,
affected by a denial of service vulnerability:

  - The Shovel parameter parser converts attacker-controlled runtime parameter values (such as the src-protocol,
    dest-protocol, and AMQP 1.0 dest-properties keys) to Erlang atoms before it bounds them or checks them against a
    fixed allowlist. A user with the management and policymaker tags can exhaust the node-wide atom table through
    repeated requests that set Shovel parameters with unique values, and crash the node. (CVE-2026-67415)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
