PlainSaslServer.java in Apache Qpid Java before 6.0.3, when the broker is configured to allow plaintext passwords, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (broker termination) via a crafted authentication attempt, which triggers an uncaught exception.
CVE-2016-3094
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.9 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 1.0%, top 23% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
