"details" : "### Impact\n\nShovel and Federation plugins perform URI obfuscation in their worker (link) state. The encryption key used to encrypt\nthe URI was seeded with a predictable secret.\n\nThis means that in case of certain exceptions related to Shovel and Federation plugins,\nreasonably easily deobfuscatable data could appear in the node log.\n\nPatched versions correctly use a cluster-wide secret for that purpose.\n\n### Patches\n\nPatched versions:\n\n * `3.10.2`\n * `3.9.18`\n * `3.8.32`\n\n### Workarounds\n\nDisable Shovel and Federation plugins.\n\n### Credits\n\nRabbitMQ core team would like to thank Lajos @luos Gerecs and Anh Nguyen from Erlang Solutions\nfor responsibly disclosing and working with us on a patch for this vulnerability.\n\n### For more information\n\n * [Mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rabbitmq-users)\n * [Community Slack](https://rabbitmq-slack.herokuapp.com/)",
