CVE-2026-49157: CWE-276 Incorrect Default Permissions in Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ
Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6. The default Jolokia authorization settings granted non-admin (low-privilege) web-login accounts access to Jolokia operations which allowed executing broker management operations meant for admins such as addQueue and removeQueue. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.6 or 5.19.7, which fixes the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Apache ActiveMQ versions prior to 5.19.7 and from 6.0.0 up to but not including 6.2.6 have a vulnerability due to incorrect default permissions in Jolokia authorization settings. These settings granted low-privilege web-login users access to Jolokia operations that allow execution of broker management commands intended only for admin users, such as adding or removing queues. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-276 (Incorrect Default Permissions). Upgrading to versions 5.19.7 or 6.2.6 resolves this issue.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized users with low-privilege web access to perform administrative broker management operations, potentially disrupting message broker functionality by adding or removing queues. This could lead to denial of service or unauthorized manipulation of messaging infrastructure. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache ActiveMQ to version 5.19.7 or 6.2.6, where the Jolokia authorization settings have been corrected to restrict management operations to admin users only. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated in the available data.
