AI-suggested

Users should upgrade to Apache Artemis version 2.57.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No temporary or alternative mitigations are indicated. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory recommending upgrade to 2.57.0.

Description

A remote attacker can craft an Openwire RemoveSubscriptionInfo command to cause the deletion of a queue on the Artemis broker before the connection authentication and authorization stage or at any time thereafter. This issue affects Apache Artemis: from 2.50.0 through 2.56.0; Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: from 1.0.0 through 2.44.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.57.0, which fixes the issue.

Impact

An attacker with network access to the Artemis broker can delete queues remotely without proper authentication or authorization checks. This can disrupt messaging services relying on those queues, potentially causing denial of service or loss of message data. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
