Solution to Vulnerability

When I researched this vulnerability, it was found on the RabbitMQ server. On the RabbitMQ server, paste the command “listeners.tcp = none” into the “C:\RabbitMQ\rabbitmq.conf” file and restart the RabbitMQ service. If it is Nessus again, this vulnerability will be resolved when the scan is performed.

listeners.tcp = none
