CVE-2012-4446: Improper Authentication

May 17, 2022 (updated July 13, 2022)

The default configuration for Apache Qpid 0.20 and earlier, when the federation_tag attribute is enabled, accepts AMQP connections without checking the source user ID, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and have other unspecified impact via an AMQP request.
