Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The RabbitMQ Java client (com.rabbitmq:amqp-client) versions before 5.33.0 are affected. The JSON-RPC tools load classes by name from service descriptions received over AMQP without validation, so an attacker who can intercept or answer the describe request, such as a co-tenant on a shared broker or a man-in-the-middle, can cause arbitrary classes to load and run their static initializers in the client's JVM. Upgrade to amqp-client 5.33.0 or later. The source gives no workaround.
