Hi Justin,

Always good to see another Australian using Koha!

I think you're right. I don't think this is relevant for RabbitMQ. That said, 
it looks like Ubuntu pushed out a security release for RabbitMQ on 27 March 
2025 for a different CVE. 

If you're using Debian/Ubuntu and have unattended upgrades on or frequently 
update your server, then you'll generally be fine.

Subject: [Koha] Erlang/OTP SSH (CVE-2025-32433) - is rabbitmq-server
        affected?

Hey everyone,

Been flagged by my VPS provider that our Koha instance may be affected by this 
vulnerability. It seems rabbitmq-server has some OTP dependencies, though not 
the erlang-ssh package.

Here is the official advisory:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/security/advisories/GHSA-37cp-fgq5-7wc2

On my koha instance these erlang packages are installed:
erlang-asn1
erlang-base
erlang-crypto
erlang-eldap
erlang-ftp
erlang-inets
erlang-mnesia
erlang-os-mon
erlang-parsetools
erlang-public-key
erlang-runtime-tools
erlang-snmp
erlang-ssl
erlang-syntax-tools
erlang-tftp
erlang-tools
erlang-xmerl

So to me it looks like this flag is a false positive, but thought best to reach 
out here.

Thanks in advance,
