Prior to 5.37.0, com.rabbitmq.tools.json.JSONReader.read() fails to terminate when input ends inside a quoted string or a line comment because its string and whitespace scanners do not stop at CharacterIterator.DONE. The default DefaultJsonRpcMapper passes JSON-RPC message bodies to this parser for JsonRpcServer and client replies. A truncated string causes the parser to append replacement end markers until heap exhaustion, while a line comment without a terminating newline can keep a thread consuming CPU indefinitely, resulting in denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 5.37.0.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `rabbitmq_java_client < 5.37.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `rabbitmq_java_client 5.37.0`\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-106121)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `com.rabbitmq:amqp-client <= 5.36.0`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `com.rabbitmq:amqp-client 5.36.1`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cqgh-8p3p-mx4m","depth":"twilight","depthScore":39,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":27,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
