CVE-2026-79921

amqp091-go has a Potential Memory Exhaustion/Protocol Violation via Broker-Controlled Oversized Payload

Published Aug 26, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.9 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
amqp091-go is a Go AMQP 0.9.1 client. Before version 1.13.0, a compromised or malicious AMQP broker can force the client to allocate resources for and process content body frames that exceed the negotiated frame_max limit. This can lead to unexpected memory consumption or application-layer denial of service (DoS), bypassing the protocol's built-in framing constraints. Version 1.13.0 contains a fix. No known workarounds are available.
