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.
The recommended upgrade target is RabbitMQ 4.3. You are 2 major versions behind, so review the changelog for each version in between to catch any breaking changes. A staged upgrade through each major version is often safer than jumping directly.
