CVE-2019-19340 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.2/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in Ansible Tower, versions 3.6.x before 3.6.2 and 3.5.x before 3.5.3, where enabling RabbitMQ manager by setting it with '-e rabbitmq_enable_manager=true' exposes the RabbitMQ management interface publicly, as expected. If the default admin user is still active, an attacker could guess the password and gain access to the system.. EPSS estimates a 1.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
