Roche disclosed CVE-2026-9844 in navify Digital Pathology 2.0.0 through 2.4.1, base score 8.8. The bundled RabbitMQ management interface ships with the default guest and guest credentials unless an operator changes them.
RabbitMQ ships guest:guest as a local-only convenience. Expose it on the network without changing it and you have handed over the message bus, and the maker owns that, not the customer. If you bundle a broker, a database or a runtime with a known default, disabling or rotating it is part of your product. Change every default credential before you ship, then verify the next release did not quietly reintroduce it.
Questions & Answers
What is CVE-2026-9844 in Roche navify Digital Pathology?
The product bundled a RabbitMQ message broker whose management interface kept the default guest account enabled unless it was changed during setup, which gives an attacker a ready-made login.
Is this a Roche bug or a RabbitMQ bug?
It is a packaging problem. RabbitMQ ships with guest:guest by design for local use. The issue is that navify shipped it in a state where those defaults could stay live.
What is the fix?
Follow Roche's advisory to disable or re-credential the guest account and lock the management interface to trusted hosts. Check any other product in your fleet that embeds a broker for the same default.
