  - The RabbitMQ management UI renders the x-internal-purpose queue or exchange argument into an HTML title attribute
    without proper escaping on the Queues and Exchanges pages, allowing a user with permission to declare a queue or
    exchange to execute JavaScript in another user's browser. (CVE-2026-57214)
