CVE-2019-19340

Severity: high (CVSS 8.2 v3.1)
Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 1.5% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: none known
Published: 2019-12-19 · updated 2026-06-17
Weakness: CWE-1188

Description

A flaw was found in Ansible Tower, versions 3.6.x before 3.6.2 and 3.5.x before 3.5.3, where enabling RabbitMQ manager by setting it with '-e rabbitmq_enable_manager=true' exposes the RabbitMQ management interface publicly, as expected. If the default admin user is still active, an attacker could guess the password and gain access to the system.

Affected products

Tower: from 3.5.0 before 3.5.3; from 3.6.0 before 3.6.2 — fixed in 3.5.3, 3.6.2
Red Hat Enterprise Linux: 7.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Tower 3.5.3, 3.6.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
