AI-suggested

Upgrade Apache ActiveMQ to version 5.19.8 or 6.2.7 or later, where this improper authorization issue is fixed. There is no indication of temporary workarounds or vendor-managed cloud service remediation. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory recommending these versions.

Description

Improper Authorization vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ. An authenticated low-privilege Web Console user by default can access /admin/* paths in the Web Console. The default Jetty settings incorrectly did not limit those paths to only admins. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.7 or 5.19.8, which fixes the issue.
