Product section

Orion Platform

Cause

CVE-2026-57216 is related to RabbitMQ, a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, and 4.2.6, AMQP 0-9-1, AMQP 1.0, and Stream Protocol authentication can allow a loopback-restricted user such as guest to connect remotely when traffic is accepted through a trusted PROXY-protocol path and the backend listener is loopback-bound because the loopback check uses the listener-side socket address instead of the real client source.

Resolution

SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted is not affected by CVE-2026-57216. The application does not enable the RabbitMQ PROXY-protocol path.
