RabbitMQ amqp091-go: Connection Configuration Overwrite via Unsanitized TLS Path Parameter Injection

Type: advisorySource: OSV2 source records

## Summary A query parameter injection vulnerability exists in the AMQP client's connection URI formatting logic. When generating or parsing connection URIs, TLS-related filesystem paths (such as certificates or keys) are appended directly to the URI's query string using string concatenation rather than secure URL encoding via functions like `url.QueryEscape`. If an application handles a TLS file path containing special character delimiters (such as `&` or `=`), these characters are interpreted as parameter separators by the URI parser. If the resulting `URI.String()` output is subsequently re-parsed via `ParseURI`, the injected fields can silently overwrite or hijack critical configuration parameters, forcing the client to use arbitrary connection settings or alternate TLS files. --- ## Vulnerability Details ### Mechanism The vulnerability lies within the lack of proper escaping when compiling connection string components into a raw URL format: ```go // Example of insecure string concatenation during URI building uri := fmt.Sprintf("amqps://user:pass@host/%s?certfile=%s&keyfile=%s", vhost, certPath, keyPath) ``` Because `certPath` and `keyPath` are not passed through `url.QueryEscape`, special URL characters preserve their control meanings. For instance, if a user supply a certificate path named: `/tmp/cert=foo&keyfile=/evil/path` The generated string translates into: `...?certfile=/tmp/cert=foo&keyfile=/evil/path&keyfile=/original/path` When this string passes back through
