About RabbitMQ 4.0

RabbitMQ 4.0 reached end of life on April 15, 2025, roughly 1 year ago. Since then, no security patches have been issued. If you are still running RabbitMQ 4.0, you should treat upgrading as a high-priority item. Any CVEs discovered against this version will not be fixed upstream.
