  - RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to versions 3.13.17, 4.0.22, 4.1.13, and 4.2.6,
    match_origin/1 returned the bare reflected Origin and allowed credentials even when the wildcard  was
    configured, so the response echoed the attacker's origin together with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials.
    The affected code is rabbit_mgmt_cors.erl. When the management plugin is configured with a wildcard CORS
    origin (cors_allow_origins = ), the handler reflects the request Origin back in Access-Control-Allow-
    Origin and also sends Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true. A malicious web page that a signed-in
    administrator visits can then use that administrator's cached HTTP Basic credentials to issue
    authenticated, state-changing requests to the management API. Preconditions include The management plugin
    is configured with the wildcard cors_allow_origins = *, which is an explicit operator misconfiguration A
    target administrator has a cached HTTP Basic-auth session in the browser. This issue is fixed in versions
    3.13.17, 4.0.22, 4.1.13, and 4.2.6. (CVE-2026-66070)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
